I want to do a wavy top edge like Margaret Braun does so perfectly, and I'm hopefully attaching a small example of her work from her beautiful book, Cakewalk. I'm thinking to measure and mark my cake into equal sections and make a template for the sides with the up-and-down wave to use to both carve the cake and cut fondant to roll around the sides to fit the shape. Then put a round of fondant on the top, pinch together and trim to fit? Is this the best approach? I would greatly appreciate any input

Sorry, I can't help here but I'd love to hear from someone who has done this too, bump!

Did you ever do this design? I saw one of the decorators on food network doing this. It was the young guy who always does flowers and pipes alot. He was the guy who was Browen webers partner. Anyway, if you dvr'd any of the shows, it shows how he did parts of it.
