I made this as a gift for a friend's birthday on Sunday. She loves the color peach and said she hadn't ever had a "feminine" birthday cake before. I had a couple of problems with it along the way, but I think she will enjoy it. Thanks for looking!

Beautiful cake! Your flowers are perfect and so are your leaves. What tip did you use for the leaves?

on

I appreciate all of your nice comments. The lettering is royal letters, but they kept breaking! It was really a pain. I have done them before without trouble but I used a smaller tip this time. The leaves are using 352.

Very pretty, I like this a lot! How do you do the lettering? On another cake you mentione the 'royal icing method', what is that exactly?

on

Thank you. You print out a font you like from the computer, pipe over it with royal icing and let it dry. Pick it up and place it on your cake. I found it works better for me to do it on parchment paper (vs. wax paper) It seemed to stick a little to wax paper and on this cake they all broke so I had to piece them together.

Beautiful work Merissa, I use Royal icing for shell and piping on cakes. Writing can be done directly on the cake no need to do it on paper first.

Thank you! I do it on paper first so that I can copy the font from the computer and not worry about messing it up. I think it was the wax paper that I had problems with (breaking) they just come right off of the parchment.

Your flowers are beautiful. My flowers from course 2 never looked that good. You are very talented.

oops sorry, these are from course 3 I think! I mentioned course 2 above. I never got a chance to take course 3 because they cancelled it, but I already had the book!

I am sorry to ask, but what are those flowers made of? Gumpaste, royal, buttercream? They just look so real?

on

Can't believe I didn't see this before...it's simply beautiful! Would you please tell me how you get the lettering to adhere to the fondant?-Thanks, and again, this is beautiful

Everytime I see this in your avatar, I always have to look at it. It is very pretty !!! Hopefully I can do half as well when I take course 2.

Merissa, this is a beautiful cake! Is it covered in fondant? Is that a ribbon around the bottom? Your tip on writing on parchment and transferring is great!!! Thanks for sharing.
