I have recently just started making cakes and have learned soooo much on here so a big thank you to everyone!

Anyway, this weekend I attempted to make a royal icing tiara. I was so nervous that once I took it off of the wax paper it would crumble into a zillion pieces. Well, I just took it off and it is still in one piece. I was so happy I was dancing around the kitchen. hahaha. After my sad, sad attempt at some roses this weekend, I am really glad the tiara worked out!

Good for you! High Five!

I know you are doing the happy dance for sure!! I just made gumpaste roses with luster dust for the first time this weekend. I thought about making a tiara, just for practice!

Please share with us your masterpiece.

Good for you!
Let's see it!

That's so exciting!! I love that feeling of success, yay!

I would love to see the tiara too!

I'm so happy for you -- thanks for sharing!

Thanks everyone! Here is a picture of it. Now, my only question is this.....I ordered some mystical dust to sprinkle on it because she is a super sparkly girl who deserves a super sparkly cake. Any advice on the proper way to make that stuff adhere.

Super cute!

Is that the same as luster dust? (newbie here asking ) Can you mix a bit with clear vanilla and paint it on with a tiny brush? That's how I applied it to my gumpaste roses.

Yeah well done you I would be dancing round the kitchen too it looks fab

Congrats...Looking good!

Very nice! I'd be dancing around too Makes me want to try it!

Beautiful job! thats another thing that i need to add to my list of things to try doing! great job!

really nice job you should be proud

Wow! It looks really good. I've been wanting to try it but like you said, I thought it would shatter when taken off the wax paper. I guess if it does I'll know how to do it the 2nd time right? Thanks for sharing...

"Our Mystical dust will add a sparkle to your gum paste flowers and cakes when applied to them.

How do you use Mystical dust? It is simple you just use it the same way you use luster dust.

Just simply brush it on your gum paste flowers or cakes to give them a added color touch with a sparkling effect.

This type of sparkling luster dust will make your creations sparkle when applied to them."

Thank you! I placed my order yesterday. I can't wait for my "first shipment o' stuff you can't get at Michaels!"

sooo good! Mind sharing how you did it and what recipe you followed? I am making a princess cake for this Thursday and have yet decided how i want to do the tiara. Last time I tried royal icing it was a flop..

I used these instructions....http://cakecentral.com/articles/129/how-to-make-a-royal-icing-tiara

I just used the royal icing recipe from Wilton. I put three layers of icing on and it seemed to work well.

thanks jenny!!!!!! it looks great!
