Just want to say thanks to everyone for their comments and advice! It wasn't nearly as nerve-wracking as I expected. The couple sat nicely on the edge of the cake with the help of just a bit of royal ...

I like the pipe cleaner idea. Thumbs Up!

They would stay nice and straight. I'll have to remember that if I do this cake again.

I used the individually wrapped hard candy sticks that come in different flavours. I unwrapped them and covered them in black fondant for the posts. I tried red shoestring licorice once for the ropes ...

I've added a tiny amount of almond extract (maybe 1/4 tsp. or less to a batch of IMBC) and it seemed to cut the buttery taste without adding almond flavour.

The topper I'm using is the same one shown in Jamie's picture. Sounds like it shouldn't be a problem (fingers crossed). I think I'll add a bit of royal to hold it in place just for peace of mind. Than ...

I do something similar. I make a topper on a smaller cake board (e.g. a 4- or 6-inch board for an 8-inch cake) and insert dowels into the cake so that the topper sits just above the buttercream. I usu ...

I think it's a great idea and I wish there were more facilities like this available in Ontario. It's definitely something I would consider using. Thumbs Up!

Thanks Linda. I like the way you did your waves and that's my next choice if I can't track down this photo.

The other cake was described as a curved piece of fondant running along the bottom as a b ...

Does anyone remember seeing a picture of a cake with 3-D curling waves along the bottom? A friend described it to me and it sounds like a great idea but we can't find the photo. Crying or Very sad

I would love to ...

Maybe I could do the same with IMBC instead of whipped cream?

Maybe I could do the same with IMBC instead of whipped cream?

Does anyone know if this filling would hold up in a two-tier cake covered in fondant? I thought I would add the Whip-It stabilizer but still wondering if it's thick enough for stacking since it's a wh ...
