My 2nd Wedding Cake

by Linda
(Braselton, GA, USA)

This is a buttercream cake with a brushed embroidery design, copied from the lace of the bride's dress. I took pictures of the wedding dress lace, printed them and created a cake design from the prints. Then I made my own impression mat of the lace design using acetate sheets and non-toxic fabric paint. I imprinted the cake and then piped (and brush embroidered for the first time) the lace design. I made my own fondant pearls in various sizes (first time also) and used them where the lace had baubles in it... and for the border. It was a WASC and spice cake 18-14-10-6 stacked tiers. This was also the first time I ever cut a wedding cake. It was rich and moist, and people waited in line for seconds!
