I have a wedding in october that will have twiggy type design on it. I'd like to MAKE the twigs if i can but i can use fake stuff if i want...she's not too picky. The twig design will not be glued to the side of the cake so that they're flat, they will be sitting at the bottom of one of the tiers, going around on all sides, sticking out as if they were actual twigs. Any advice? do i use fondant? Chocolate? Thank you!!!!
Make your own with gumpaste that you color brown... Get some real twigs, branches, etc. Play with the coloring...they are not All brown. Let they dry, and you are ready to go... Just make sure you dry them how you want the to be lay on the cake, because they will not bend...
Good luck

I agree. Make your gumpaste basic brown, and them add some more brown, but dont mix it in totally - it will give you twigs / branches a "real" look, with lighter and darker patches. Put grooves in by using you pizza cutter.
