I love the look of the bottom tier of this cake.  can someone tell me what it is called and/or tell me how its done, share a video tutorial or anything?!?

thanks

Looks like 4 petalled flowers out of fondant, creating the circle type pattern with pearls at the center of each flower.

I agree with Liz at sugar...looks like fondant petals with pearls...pretty cake

do you know where I could get this 4 petal cutter from?

Try Global Sugar Arts-they have a lot of cutters.
 

Or else just take a circle cutter the size you want, cut out a circle, fold into quarters, use the same cutter to cut each quarter again to form the petal shape, then place four of them with the points together to form the shape on the cake.
 

I don't think you'll find a cutter. I've looked.

You might have to do what LizzieAylett says. Cut a circle, mark or fold into quarters, then use the same cutter to cut off the shape.

It looks like it's a quilting design thing.

There's a new silicone onlay for that now.

AI found that onlay and ordered it. Can't wait for it to arrive!

Holy Cow, I've never seen those before........that's a great invention! Kvand please post your experiences using them. Were they expensive?

AThey're about $29.

There are more styles inside each icon.

AOrdered 5 different ones and expressed them. Can't wait to try them. Dominic is going to be one rich man!

I ordered quite a few as well.  I hope they are as easy as they look!  Pretty darn excited.  They are supposed to arrive early next week.  eeek! I will post a review once I get to use them. 

If the mold works as well as it looks like it will the time savings will be enough to cover the cost of the mold in just one cake.  after all, time is money :)

Can they be use on Buttercream?

Not sure. Probably not; I would use it to make an imprint on buttercream if I needed to. Dominic is here at CC, too. This is his profile. You could message him.

Thanks I will pm him..

I dunno, I'm kinda skeptical...I watched the video but it was edited....one second it showed him starting to apply it but did not show it ACTUALLY coming out... and then it was done. Is it THAT easy to get out?? Did it break??

AThe video shows you can use it to put fondant on a bc cake if that's what you mean. Just make sure the buttercream is really firm (cold) before applying.

Really kvand? I have to say I haven't watched the videos. No time yet. That would be great.

AThe link to the silicone onlay just looks like a diamond sgape cut out of a circle

AOr "concave diamond cutter"

Looks similar to a pattern that I uploaded to CC in SKETCHES and PATTERNS ALBUM  last January.  I used a single petal cutter and arranged the cut-outs in sets of four.

Hope this helps
