Tartanotroid

Prepare a bagpipe by extending the octopus-like pipes further into the bag, all the way up the end of the blow-nozzle. Fill these pipes with icing matching the colours depicted on the outside of the bagpipes.

Some of these pipes are now flattened, some thinned at the nozzle in such a way as to create a multicoloured tartanesque stripe of coloured icing upon correct ensqongination of the bag.

Having covered the cake in horizontally formatted stripes, the Tartanotroid can be reoriented to put strips down in the vertical direction, completing the tartan effect.

But there's more!

By charging the Tartanotroid with a mixture of butter, marmite and peanut butter, you can create your own tartan toast.

Vegetable purées, nut butters, paté ensembles, jams, mashed potato, mince, ice cream, mashed pies, gravy, liquid ham - the list of tartanable food items is endless!
