simple, sleek and beautiful, how did you get the fondant pearls to have the sheen that they have

I followed the directions on Earlene's website and after an hour of drying, shook them in a small container with luster dust. I was amazed at how much they really looked like pearls!

your fondant is really smooth! congratulations mine never looks like that... how do you do it?

Wish I could give you a secret, I think more than anything I made sure I didn't roll it out too thin. I also made sure to use the viva technique on the bc underneath. That and a whole lot of prayers!

i love!!! your cake it is so beautiful.im making a cake for a baby shower and will be basing it on your design.(because its the most gorgeous cake ive ever seen) i do have a question though. i know you used luster dust on the pearls, is that edible or do those need to be removed before serving?

Wow, thanks for the compliments! Yes, the pearls are completely edible. The only thing you'd have to remove is the ribbon.
