Hi everyone. I've seen a few different cakes that I really like and I want to know how to do this: the cakes looked like they are striped (fondant), but the stripes aren't placed on top of the fondant where you can see the fondant underneath. It looks like the different colored fondant stripes are each cut so that they touch and cover the entire cake. Then over the top they lay a different color of fondant and it hangs over the side and is scalloped. So it kind of looks like the fondant is "dripping" over the sides.
I would like to know if you cover the cake in fondant and then put the stripes over that? or how this is done? and then, how do you keep the fondant that is over the top of the stripes, smooth, so that you don't see the indents of the stripes.
I hope that this makes sense, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. SARAH
I'm not sure which cake you are referring to, but this one is butted, not overlapped. http://www.aboutthecake.com/16e72ba20.jpg

If you could point us to a picture, someone could probably tell you exactly how to make it...
I am loving that cake but onfortunatley I can't make out the details. It's really, really light on my monitor and the whole thing looks practicaly white.
I would also love to know how they do the striped cake with the scalloped overhang and nothing looks stacked or 3D. It's all very smooth...... sorry I wasn't more help.
I can't make out the picture well either, but 7yyrt I would love to know how they "but" the the fondant together and the chocolate wrap as well...those are beutiful!
I think that particular photo looks like it's done with a chocolate transfer not fondant!
how is it done with a chocolate transfer?
This actually done wiht Chocolate Clay....
Different colors if Chocolate Clay is rolled out side by side, then wrapped around the cake... I have made this b4 that why I know...
If you click on the candyland cake, it gives you a close up and you should be able to see the details. I'll try to email the maker, maybe she can help me.

like these!! You just put melted choc. on the back and wrap it around the cake, let it set up and peel off the acetate!
KHalstead - Thanks for the info...looks too easy to be true! I will have to try this!
