It was absolutely gorgeous! I can't find any pics of cakes with fondant work like that. Anyone who seen it have any ideas about how it's done. I looked for a pic of her cake but it's not posted online yet.

Several articles say it's by Cheryl Kleinman, but I'm not finding any pictures yet.

i haven't seen any as well...but i'm sure it will be online in the near future.

You can totally tell me how much you love me now, lol.

Cool how it resembles the top of her dress. Is that fondant?

ooooh...pretty!

who'd she marry?

You know, if you look at it closely it looks like they used ribbons of fondant, starting from the bottom of a tier and working up, that they pull out in different places. That would require a lot of playing with the fondant as it dried out to make it stand out like that! Beautiful cake, that's for sure.

OH I LOVE IT!!!! Just about my dream wedding cake (but with tropical flowers!) Reminds me of this cake! no exactly the same but similiar!

Not my tastes, but I can appreciate the work that went into it. Wow! Do you suppose the flowers are real or gumpaste. I love her headband!

For all the az cccc club members we will be learning how to do this technic. Sooo excited.

Wow, that cake is very beautiful! Looks like it took SO long to make!

It's beautiful, but a lot of hard I think. I can't tell if the flowers are gumpaste or real.

I only took the picture, lol. I didn't have time to read the article. DH was annoyed enough that I was wasting time taking the picture in the first place.

You can always find contact information for the cake decorator and see if she'd be so kind to tell you if the flowers are real or not. *shrug*

The flowers look like sugar to me...

THANK YOU emrldsky! That cake is so pretty, but looks so hard to do!

When yall az cccc club members learn how to do this SHARE please!!!

I was unable to pull the picture link (ya know, filters at work), so I was googling and read descriptions of the cake that said the flowers were real.

HOWEVER, one article said 8-tier and another said 5-tier--so we can't believe everything we read!

Real ones were used on her first wedding cake to Cinjun.....

maybe they are real...it's been so long since I've seen real ones, I'd probably think they were artificial....

Not my favorite.

Wouldn't fondant just droop? Any one else think that could be white chocolate clay?

Can't say this one is my favourite either. I think that technique on the layers kind of makes it look sloppy, or drooping

Here's another similar style cake done by Cheryl Kleinman. It was on the
NY Mag website (www.nymag dot com). Click on the weddings tab, then scroll down the page to "Grand Finales" and click on the cakes and several pictures will come up.

I LOVE the cake and it looks really easy to do (except for the flowers) . I've done a similar technique with my second fondant cake.

And yet another with that type of ruffling...
