Dramatic Blue

by Madison
(Washington)

I made this dramatic blue wedding cake by doing flowers out of blue gumpaste and then piped the centers in with royal icing. The cake was covered in white fondant, and then the day of the wedding I placed the flowers on and did the striping with royal icing, too.

The cake is composed of three layers, each trimmed with royal blue sating ribbon at its base. The gum paste flowers at the top can be arranged this way by either placing a glob of icing beneath them or a ball of fondant and then attaching the flowers to it with royal icing.
