Ice Skate & Snowflake themed birthday ca

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Cake Decorating

Type of item: Food

For: Girls

Style: Whimsical, Classic, Holiday, Traditional, Cute


Materials

Buttercream, airbrush, fondant

What was your inspiration?

This cake was for a 10 year old girl who's having an ice skating party for her birthday.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

The decorations are all fondant with tylose, the melting snow effect is melted fondant (slightly cooled) and drizzled from a paper piping back. (easier to throw away than to waste a piping back). Once it all settled, I airbushed with pearl color to give it a nice shimmer. Hope you like it and thank you for looking.

I used fondant and melted it with a little bit of water, just enough to get it almost water like but not too soft. Once I got the consistency I was looking for I put it in a rolled parchment paper and drizzled it around the cake. Once it all dried I airbrushed with sheer color for have that nice shimmery efect

You can use chocolate too if you like, it would work the same.
