Someone please help me come up with an idea for a bridal shower cake. Purple and Gold, 75 people. . . . . . I am drawing a blank!!!
Luster dust makes a wonderful gold when brushed onto dried butter-cream, or better-yet, dry Royal icing.
The colors seem quite regal -- is the wedding/shower going to be quite formal? You could make up a cake in the Lambeth style (a formal, Edwardian look).
If the shower/wedding is not quite that formal, then perhaps purple violets with tiny gold pearls would be feminine, yet not quite so grand. I find if I make the fondant a warm yellow, then brush them with gold, the pearls have a nice rich hue to them. Maybe sprinkle them over a light-violet cake with cornelli lace.
Hope this helps out a bit. (You make lovely cakes, by the way!)
I think the corneli lace with the gold pearls sounds like a good idea for this shower. I haven't tried to make gold pearls yet, that sounds like fun!
Thanks for the idea!
Quick tip for coloring pearls - let them dry a bit so they don't stick together, place in round container (like Gladware) with your dust and swirl around til they're covered. Very little mess and easy!
