Yes, this is stunning. Did you use an edible gold and drags or is this for decoration only? I am having a bra d time finding edible dragees and edible silver and edible gold for real cakes.

I handpainted the gold accents. I first piped the design in royal icing (you could use buttercream as well) and then painted it in gold. Thanks for looking! Lisa

Did you paint with something like luster dust & lemon juice or a gel color or what? If you did it in dust, what color did you use for the base icing that you piped? Sorry for so many questions. I've just tried this several times before with no luck.

I was told by one tutor it was our strict food and hygiene standards. I know that some of the colours used do not meet our standards also and we have to tell clients that the decoration with these on are for display only. The tutor also mentioned the danger if someone biting into a wires should for some reason break off into the cake. I would have though common sense would prevail though.

Wow love the colour scheme the piping is so neat. Something I am still practicing as I have only been at the cake decorating for a year. Your roses are stunning. Maybe you could answer a question., In New Zealand we are told not to put wires directly into our cakes we use posy spikes or large straws to hold the wires in place. In the craftsy lesson for the gift boxes there were a lot of wires stuck directly into the cake is this common practice in the USA?

lisascakes

Sep 22, 2012

Flag as inappropriate

Thank you for the kind words! I know there are varying opinions on the whole wire in cake thing. I have always tried to avoid sticking anything into a cake if possible. All bows, ribbons are always just sitting on the cake. For gumpaste flowers, I clip the wire as close to the flower head as possible while still leaving enough to stick in the cake to hold. I only buy and use covered wires to begin with so the wire is already covered. I honestly don't know the "why" behind not sticking wire into the cake ...what reason do they give in New Zealand for this practice? Thanks! Lisa
