In: Damask and Hibiscus Cake in album: Birthday Cakes
The only request for this cake was to include gumpaste hibiscus flowers (but not a tropical theme).  I decided to make it more formal and elegant by setting it against damask and pearls.  8", 6", 4" Belgian dark chocolate mud cakes with cream cheese buttercream.

Your hibiscuses are beautiful. Do you have a how to on them? Another question did you use a stencil for the black and whit cakes?

Did you make your own stencil? I've never seen that one. You should pat yourself on the back, it's beautiful!

Your stencil work is flawless and your hibiscus amazing! Wow!

this is awesome

Thanks! This is just my 2nd attempt at stencilling, so I was really nervous since it was black icing on white. I'm very pleased with the result (the stencil is purchased).

Ha! I thought they were real hibiscus too! Great work! I'm still scared of stencils.

I am scared of stenciling, too!!! I tried it once and it was a disaster! To put it mildly, I ruined an otherwise flawless cake! :cry: However, I tried using a homemade stencil... I think that's where I went wrong... anyway, I have cake that requires stenciling this Saturday... I can only PRAY that it turns out as lovely and perfect as this one!

i love the way you used the two pinks together - and i'm with everyone else on your amazing hibiscus flowers and stencil work. very well done!
kgoodpasture 7/11/11 at 1:53pm
I'm using a purchased stencil this time :)
