Elegant Border

I am making a 60th anniversary cake this weekend! I have the cake made and I am working on the final smoothing of the icing. All the flowers are made. I want this cake to look really nice. I wanted to know what a really nice border would be good for the bottom on each tier. I am just a little tired of shells. What else is out there that I am missing!!

Thanks so much for your help! icon_smile.gif

W/o knowing the design it's really hard to say for sure.
Reversed shells?
Stars?
Look through my gallery for some other ideas.

lace always looks nice depending on what your cake looks like. I have the lace impression molds and they work great! I will be doing an ivory cake with ivory lace as my border with flowers here in like a month but it turns out to be very elegent icon_smile.gif HTH

Pearls fondant or piped are nice. For me smaller borders are more elegant than larger

These are 2 sources that I like to refer to for borders. Both were posted by Than Than, way back when, right here on CC:

Thanks so much!

Wow--she always does such great work!

I just knew that there were other things than the few they teach you in wilton classes. I think I may have shelled, reverse-shelled, and dotted my time out. I like the ones that are layered with different tips.

Thanks again!
