In album: gelatin

This is my 2nd attempt at a wedding cake. It's covered with fondant and has RI accents and fondant pearls. The flowers are all gelatin. The roses are in two different shades of purple and the orchid I used white and purple. I also made gumpaste baby's breath as a filler with the flowers. Thanks for looking.

Gelatin flowers are made with unflavored gelatin, such as Knox. You make a wire loop, like a bubble wand, and dip into the melted gelatin. It sets up looking like a thin plastic. This technique was featured in the last 2 issues of American Cake Decorating and I had to give it a try.

I just noticed that in my original description I forgot to Thank JenniferMI for the scroll design. I had seen it on one of her cakes and really liked it.

I found the font I wanted online and traced over it with RI on plastic wrap then placed on the cake with RI.

Gorgeous cake--easy to see why you won first place. I love the idea to trace RI on plastic wrap and then place on cake. I will have to try it. Congrats on your masterpiece. :D
