Victorian Fantasy
This is the cake I entered in the County Fair this year. First time doing most everything; draping, making roses petal by petal, making a mold for the jewelry, lace wrap..... these are fondant covered dummies 6, 8, 10 and 12". Skirt and doily cover are fondant, roses and jewels are gumpaste. Inspired by and some replication of a cake by Kerry Vincent.
WOW! This cake is gorgeous! What a lot of detail and it's all stunning! Congrats on the blue ribbons! Well deserved!
That is absolutely beautiful! You did a wonderful job. Well deserved ribbons.
That is just beautiful! You defiantely deserved your blue ribbon!!!
Wowzer! Your roses look like painted porcelain!
excellent, great work
Thank you everyone, JanetPlanet they were stenciled petal by petal amd hand painted with gold. The skirt was also hand stenciled on each of the 12 pleated panels.
what a georgous cake. - Great job. 8)
Forgot to add that I neglected to make something for the topper so used a shoe from my "Just the Right Shoe" collection. I will be entering the cake in the Decorating Contest this Saturday so will make another rose for the top.
This cake deserves to win. Great job.
WOW, this must have taken forever. You deserve more than a blue ribbon for this one.

absolutely gorgeous job! LOVE IT! I didn't understand how you do the bottom (when I read ACD). You did an amazing job!
Bakenboi, sorry I didn't see your question. The rose petals are stenciled individually with Avocado and Shrimp Luster dusts mixed 50/50 with Super Pearl and then there were ribbons in the stencil as well which were dusted with Super Gold.
