Wow, I think it is all hand cut. The reason being that most stencils I have seen or used suit a cake with a max height of 10cm and the middle tier is a double height. The other thing is if you look at the joins you can see that they are all small pieces stuck together. The thinner string-like pieces look like that are made with an extruder. I hope you have charged a small fortune, it will take forever to do.
no I don't think it's a stencil -- it's just a gorgeous geometric art deco pattern cut out of fondant pieces -- I would think that some of it is piped but with all that cut fringe on the bottom tier -- I'd wager the fine lines on the art deco tier is also cut fondant -- extruded one way or another -- but it could be piped --
since it's a square tier it's easier to make all those fondant placements -- can let them dry a bit so they don't stretch before you apply -- it's a gorgeous cake--
you might could use candy clay but I can't remember if candy clay takes to being painted with the gold paint? but the candy clay won't stretch out so that's a nice feature to have in your corner for an extensively pieced together decor like this --
fwiw -- not many if any corners are mitered but there are some competing angles joined together -- So to get that all nice & even-- overlap the two sections and make one cut through them both and your angles and cuts will join seamlessly --
i would love to see your work please update if you can -- best to you
Thank you. Actually I was thinking about making it for my anniversary party, its going to be my 10 year next june, its the great gatsby theme. I really dont want to have to make it myself since its my party & I will already be busy but I wanted to save some money, haha but I may just make it, cuz i love it so much!
Yeah if I do make it, I will make those details ahead of time, thank you :)
