Peacock Feather Explosion

Peacock Feather Explosion on Cake Central

This one took alot of planning. French Vanilla cake with Pistachio filling and vanilla buttercream icing. Top tier is a dummy iced in the buttercream. Then the 150 or so peacock feathers exploding out of the top. It was really very pretty and was a great focal point at the reception.

This is really cool. Did you coat the stems of the feathers, or just insert them into the cake? Are they real feathers? Just curious. I love peacock feathers but didn't know how to incorporate them.

The top tier is a dummy with a hole in the middle. Yes they are real feathers and no the quills are not cut. I stuck them through the hole in the cake dummy, It looked like they were stuck through the cake, a great effect.
