Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Modern Piping »

Difficulty:

Category: Cake Decorating

Type of item: Food

For: Other

Style: Traditional, Romantic, Classic


Materials

Fondx fondant (LOVE!!!) Joshua's recipe for royal icing Styrofoam dummies Red Velvet cake

What was your inspiration?

The friend I made this for had a couple pictures of what she wanted and I knew using some cutters and the embellishing techniques taught in the class would be perfect!

What are you most proud of?

Probably the lace mesh sections, but I love the flower too...

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Joshua has a lot of great advice in the course- practice on parchment, try sketching out what you want the final design to look at, reinvent cutters or stencils to give them y our own personal touch. I would just echo what he said.

Fantastic cake? Did you use gum paste or fondant for the Jacobean design? Were you able to do them ahead of time? I am just thinking if it is gum paste it would probably crack when you are sticking it onto the curve of the side of the cake. Thanks and well done

Thanks! I used fondant for the designs, I just cut and placed them right on the cake. I live in a very dry climate so I use a lot of shortening to keep things moist.

Beautiful! I'm doing a law cake in October and these cutters are perfect. You said they're the Jacobean by JEM? Wonderful work.
