I LOVE this cake but how do you think he did it? I'm thinking he cut out the peices of lace in fondant, placed it on the cake and then use RI for the lines of the lace?

i would second that suggestion...if you look at it, you can see that the "grids" are not consistently even, so i imagine that they've been piped. that is a gorgeous cake!!!!!!!!

I seem to recall reading somewhere long ago that he did it with Sugarveil, then added the lace medallions.

OMG Lesia, I think you're right. I just looked up sugarveil on the net and I think he may have even done the bows with it. They look like real fabric! Amazing!
