Gold and Pink Birthday Cake

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Fondant Frills »
Difficulty:

Category: Cake Decorating

Type of item: Food

For: Other

Style: Romantic

Materials

Fondant, gum paste, luster dust.

What was your inspiration?

I love the all the ruffled cakes that I have been seeing lately and I have been dying to do one. Plus, pink and gold! I love the glitzy color combination with the ruffles.

What are you most proud of?

The ruffles. It was my first time doing them. Also, successfully flipping a cake over and decorating it upside down. I had never done that before and boy, that is stressful the first time you do that!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Patience. The ruffles take time, but the effect is well worth it.

Did you use the Satin Ice fondant or a different brand?

I used fondarific fondant for this cake. It worked fine, but it takes a bit longer to dry, I think, than some other fondants.

Beautiful!!! How did you color the gold fondant for the middle tier???? Is it gold petal dust on a pink tier?

It is gold petal dust on a pink tier. I hand painted the antique gold luster dust mixed with vodka with a wide square brush and purposefully left some of the pink peeking through.
