Pleated Drapes/white Flowers

Hi! This cake was a dummy cake, but could easily be made out of real cake. The bottom was a petal pan with fondant pleates, the flowers are all gumpaste, white dendrobium orchids and gardenias. It was one of my favs. I had this idea floating around in my head, and just had to make it! The vase is sugar with a pressed lace pattern over the ourside. I was lucky enough to have it be on the cover of the May ICES newsletter - 2007 :-) Thanks for peeking! Jennifer Dontz - traveling teacher

Thank you! The lattice effect is achieved with the plastic cover from a florescent light fixture. Go to Home Depot or similar store and look at the large rectangle flor. lite covers, it's just a plastic sheet. You can score and break it down. You roll the fondant out, then dust lightly and place the sheet on top and rub - easy! Jen :-)
