I have seen some very cute cakes with ducks on them. They also have giant bubbles all around them and I was wondering if anyone knows how they made them. Would they use fondant or did they pipe them on? I'm not real familiar with piping or fondant, so please someone help me out. I was also wondering if you could put luster dust on them to make them shiny? Thanks everyone and hope you have a good day!!

Would be easier to say if you could post a pic, or a link to a pic

Im afraid to post the pic because it is not my cake and I don't want to make anyone mad.

Don't worry about that! If it's on CC the maker would just be flattered and if it's elsewhere just post the link so we can go to the website!

ok I was just worried. Everyone on here is so great I dont wouldnt want to upset or offend anyone.

Cute cakes!

It looks like a mix to me, most of the bubbles are piped but it looks like the really big bubbles are rolled balls of fondant, what you really need to know is what kind of tip was used to pipe the bubbles so they come out like that, if you got the pics from here you could PM the posters and ask
Also be handy to know what icing recipe was used.
HTH!

you can either do it with icing or fondant. i made mine from fondant and painted it with luster dust.

Thank you for your help. I think I will PM them and ask them. I'm alway worried about bothering someone. (personal flaw LOL) Thanks again.
