Okay, I am doing a bridal shower cake in the theme of wine and cheese since this is what the whole bridal shower will be. So the idea of a cake is this... chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream or choc. fondant with fondant grapes.
But instead of just making the grapes in a spray, which I would have to buy floral wire and floral tape, not to mention I have never done this before. What if I did this. And please tell me your honest opinion. WHat if I bought a grape spray at Michaels and took off the grapes and replaced them with fondant grapes and left on the wire and so forth? Does this make sense? Michaels or Joanns carries these plastic grape sprays that are already wired with grap leaves. But I would just take the plastic grapes off and replace with fondant ones. Maybe even make fondant leaves. Then put on the cake. No one will eat the grapes anyway..right????
All opinions accepted...I know being lazy...but could work!
TIA
That would work. how about just using the plastic grapes since nobody's going to eat them anyway. Save yourself some time. Unless you want everything to be mostly edible. I don't see a problem with replacing them. I think it's a very creative solution!
I think it's a great idea! And I don't see it as lazy....it's innovative and practical!
i have done grapes by just putting whoppers in a bag with petal dust to color ane then attaching to the cake and each other with buttercream to keep them in the shape. It depends on if you want them hanging off the side or not. These are best flat on the cake. Then add the leaves and stems. easy to cut and serve and all edible. Just another idea.
I would do real grapes and sugar frost them as suggested. I don't know what size your cake is but for small tiers you can get tiny champangne grapes. They look beautiful on a cake and you don't need to coat them with sugar.
