Antique Wedding Cake
THis cake is 16", 12" and 8" French Vanilla cakes. White BC frosting with quilted impression mat and handmade fondant pearls rolled in Antique Silk luster Dust. The Bride and Groom on top belonged to the Bride's grandparents. Fresh flowers.
Love your flowers and the cake is flawless!
Beautiful...your pearls are perfect....love the whole look ;-D
I love the look, wonderful job!
Wow these are beautiful, so elegant.
I am NOT a math whiz. I thought I was figuring the right amount of pearls needed. Told my friend/assistant (she does my flowers) that I needed approx. 350 but to make 400 just to be sure. Guess what--needed 600 so last night, we were furiously making pearls. Finished 16" cake this AM.
Lovely Mac~
I have handrolled fondant pearls before. I even bought a tiny measuring spoon so each one would be perfect (which yours definitely are!). It is a painstaking process. I know what you went through. Did you handpaint each line with the lusterdust? They look perfect too? I'm in awe.
After I rooled out the fondant to the thickness I wanted, I used tip 10 to make fondant discs, then I hand-rolled them. Dropped them in a bowl of luster dust (about 25 at a time) and shook the bowl to roll them around, then I dumped it all thru a small strainer that allowed the remaining luster dust to go into another bowl for the next 25 pearls. I don't paint them--it's a dry dusting while the pearls are still soft and then let them sit under a fan to dry.
Very beautiful!!!
Oh, I love this...it is so elegant and beautiful!
Great job! So pretty!
