Hi all, I am hoping one of you might be able to help me out with how to achieve the amazing ruffle effect on this Maggie Austin cake - or be able to point me in the direction of a tutorial if one already exists out there

I have been asked to make a cake using this effect for a wedding & I have never tried my hand at this before so need to do some studying up on the technique. Any help anybody can give me would be very much appreciated

Thanks, Rach

Much easier than you may think! This video tutorial is awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxT9f1-N2fI&feature=player_embedded

The cake, in your photo, uses the same technique for ruffles but layer them top to bottom to get the upside down look.

I layered bottom to top for the cake I have attached. I used a straight scallop cutter (it doesn't have to be the circle).

Ok...photo is too big. I'll have to upload it & share a link.

It's never "just cake!"

You may get a cake for $way to little but you won't get this cake!
