White Chocolate and Raspberry Mud Cake, filled and iced with lovely pink chocolate ganache and covered with white fondant. Bottom 3 tiers are black royal icing stenciling and top tier is black cachous "dots". Thanks for coming by and having a peek.
Hi Tobycat - thanks and yes the first 3 tiers are all black royal icing stenciled on white fondant. The top tier is 6mm black cachous stuck into the fondant. This was my first really attempt at doing stencils, so it's not perfect, but I was happy how it came together.
Hi Honeybun1 - beuutiful work....I have to do my step-daughters wedding cake soon and she has chosen white with black stenciling. Is there a chance of the black bleeding onto the white fondant? I had done a white cake (buttercream) with a dimond pattern and dark green dots and over time I notice the green bleeding out onto the white...and maybe it's because it was buttercream..I hope I explained this right. Thank you for your time..and once you fill in the stencil, is it diffcult to remove without messing it up?
Hi Ranbel. I did leave the fondant overnight to dry, and didn't find that the black royal icing bled into the fondant. I had the royal icing about the consistency of toothpaste. I was as nervous as anything! But there is a knack to removing the stencil and not making a mess. Once you've gone over with the royal icing, take hold of one end and and gently roll outward/curl the stencil away from the cake (continuing all the way down to where the stencil starts) and lift off. I found that gave me the cleanest finish, although I still need to practice achieving the same thickness throughout, of the royal icing. Happy baking, I'm sure your cake will be lovely!.
But do share if you wouldn't mind.
