Tiffany Lamp-shade with Grapes and Vines
Tiffany Lamp-shade with Grapes and Vines
Uploaded By: karennayak
A Big Thank You to Karateka. The original idea of using a real lamp-stand and setting the cake on it is hers. The fondant is lustre-dusted with dry gold and then the grapes and vines are hand-painted on.Then again I used two shades of lustre dust for the leaves, and amethyst lustre dust for the grapes. The "lead" is black fondant, thinned and piped. The finial is fondant and painted with piping gel and colour, for shine and to match the wooden lamp-stand.

Thank You Everyone! To answer the ?s... I make my own fondant, just thinned with water it till it was good piping consistency. The cakes were one 13" round and one baked in a steel mixing bowl. I later carved them a bit. For the picture of the lampstand itself, email me at karennayak@yahoo.com
