Does anyone have any pics of a rustic messy looking wedding cake? Like the kind where the icing is not smoothed out, but more so than just a little messy. The bride brought me a picture of one, it is white and I think it has white chocolate leaves on it. Please post a pic if you have one or email me, Thanks

Anyone?

Sorry I no long have a pic but it sure isn't easy to make 'messy' icing when we have worked sooooooo hard to smooth them!
I used gp sticks, acorns, and greens.
To mess up the icing, use the back of a spoon to make 1/2 circles in a slightly thicker icing than you would normally use.
This works good using Earlene Moore's Cream Cheese Buttercream recipe.

Here's a rustic cake I did. The icing texture was made by holding my spatula straight up-and-down, and flicking my wrist a little bit.

Thank you for the pic, but I need much messier!!! hahaha She showed me a pic, I just wanted to get some more ideas.
Thanks though

This isn't exactly a rustic wedding cake , but it does have messy icing. Not sure if what you are looking for, so I figured I would throw it on here in case it helps you.

Here's another rustic cake I used the back of a soup spoon

Yes, those are more like what she is looking for, the snow one is alot like the pic. I am not sure if it is called rustic or not though!

Here's one that I did for a bride last summer. She wanted a blueberry theme with a rustic finish so I wove some artificial blueberry springs together and incorporated some brown ribbon to make the swag. I also did one in chocolate buttercream with mixed chocolate curls/shavings but I think this one might be more helpful to you. Good luck with your cake.

Here's another one that has a rustic style. Although mine has a fondant finish, the design is one that could be easily used for a "messy" buttercream finish. It's not my design - my bride brought me a picture so unfortunately I can't give credit to the original cake designer. It's on a real block of wood (covered in clear contact paper) with silk birds and artificial twigs.

Here is the cake that I did for my brother and SIL. They wanted fruit flan and rustic. I did it by spinning the cake on a turntable and using the tip of my spatula.

Classycakes, what a great job of recreating the Martha Stewart Forest Cake! It's looks awesome!

Justbeck101, Martha Stewart Weddings has several "messy" cakes as well. Swiss or Italian Buttercream works really well for this effect.

Thanks for the kind words! And thank you Win for letting me know where the design came from! I admit I was curious about that!

I did one a year ago, I'll post a pic....well, pic is too big, here is the link, it's also posted in my pictures
