oh oh...ya'll meant icing it with buttercream instead of it having a fondant covering? Took me bit to realize that....sorry.
If I come upon that info, I'll be sure to share it (unless ya'll find it first)

I have done a couple with the 'billowing'. Both were covered in butter cream as a base. As far as 'doing it', you will be amazed how easy this is. Just cut small equal rectangles of fondant and pinch the two opposite long sides, push very gently inwards to create the 'billow', then place on the cake. Add each billow so they almost touch. For the next row, make it so it's like brick work, continue until the final row. Finish off with little balls or flowers etc to fill the joins. Hope this helps.x

Thank you for the buttercream info. I have tried making the billows for the first time . Just practicing. Oh my! my edges don't look to acordian like. When you put them on the cake did you need to use piping gel or anything to help adhere it to the crusted buttercream? Can you make them ahead of time and let them dry? I have until Aug. to practice. LOL
thanks again
thanks again

Hi, with one I never used anything to help adhere, they just stuck to the butter cream, with the other I used a dot of water, they both held fine. As far as making in advance, I found if you do, you may have a struggle matching up the curves in all the right places, it's do-able but a lot of 'jig saw' like matching. I applied mine whilst still malleable and found it easier to adjust to each others form.
