Thank you so much...I cant remember who made the cake above but I just fell in Love with it...Thanks again

That cake you posted is unbelievably amazing. It's just amazing!! Flawless.
It's easy to fall in love with!

good luck!

The cakes maker Martha Agnew. Or, so my magazine tells me!!

There is a website in europe that sells scottish tartan edible sheets. I purchased some, and they were wonderful. They are a little expensive but it was well worth it for me anyway. If you have a good printer, you could probably print some of your own. (even just to try to get the plaid right.)

Good luck.

I couldnt remember who do it I just remember it being amazing!!! And inspiring to be that good one day

I just stumbled onto this blog. I made this cake for the 2006 Oklahoma Sugarart Wedding Cake Competition. First I made a flexible mold out of old denim as it has the same weave as scottish tartan. I used the mold on gumpaste then made a stencil out of poster board then dry brushed the white and black stripes. I used a little vodka mixed with dusting powder as the brushing medium.
Thank you so much
