Tiered Wedding Cake with Fondant Trim and Silk Flowers

Very pretty cake!

great job smoothing out the buttercream, looks good!

I love the way you smooth your buttercream on the edges. Great job!

A great job. looks so nice.

This cake is gorgeous!!! Please tell me how you smooth your edges so well,mine always look rough!

I frost the cake first with an icer tip, then get it as smooth as possible with a spatula. Let it sit out for about 1/2 hr to crust. Then I use a piece of parchment paper and I glide a clean spatula over the paper to gently press out any "stroke marks" that I left when I frosted it. The upper edges of each tier are slightly rounded by placing the parchment on the side of the cake and gently drawing the clean spatula up and over the top edge. This give a slight rounding effect. Hope that helps.

amazing cake!!! how did you do the band of fondant on the bottom edge of the cake?

To make the border, I used an old Wilton fondant impression mold similar to the Baroque mold. I don't think they make it anymore.
