I was sent a picture of a cake, it a 2 tier cake the bottom of the cakes has different size scrolls all around it it is all fondant as well I have no clue how I would make these scrolls without a mold and I cant find one please anyone have any other solutions.
Are you good at piping? Without a mold, that's the only way I can think of to accomplish what you're asking.
I make scrolls out of fondant "snakes". Maybe you could try that? It wouldn't have the sloping thing that molded scrollwork does, that you can only get that with a mold IMO.
My scrolls are ok in frosting and fondant but looking at the cake they appear to be done in fondant and yes I would say its defiantly a mold I was hoping for maybe some way of making this scroll if I cant find a similar mold.
I am trying to post the picture, having a bit of a problem being this is my first time posting in the forum, I will keep trying.

FYI, it's not you - the add attachment to post software is currently malfunctioning.
Can you provide a link to the post?
Or if you belong to flickr or photobucket there's a way to add a photo:
If you want a photo to show up in your post, here's how:
First upload the photo into an online photo site like Photobucket (getting a photobucket account is easy and FREE) then just copy the photo's image code (IMG Code) from photobucket and paste it into your post. Then when you hit 'submit comment' the photo will display in the thread. Easy.
Photobucket is here: http://photobucket.com/
I'm pretty sure you can also use Flickr like this too - just look for the image code (IMG code) and copy and paste it.
HTH
I think I did this right and thank you for letting me know that the uploader isnt working at this time
Here is the link to the photo

Here you go:
That looks like it was piped with royal icing and then painted with gold luster dust.
Thank you for putting that up for me, that is one great royal icing piping job, not sure I can do that quite that well any suggestions on how I could possible get that similar scroll without doing royal icing.
You could probably do something similiar with that new Wilton baroque mold, but the scrolls are going to be a lot thicker. http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?id=B76337E9-1E0B-C910-EA17D9BC89247FA1
That piping looks like they added some stars here and there to fill in spaces. They did a great job but it makes my hand ache just looking at it
Thank you so much I greatly appreciate the time you took to find that That would work perfectly I have looked it up and they are out of stock for ordering , I then checked stores that I get my cake supplies at and they are also showing out of stock and the cake is for tuesday!!
You won't be able to order anything off the net for delivery Tuesday unless you pay through the roof shipping charges. I would suggest either trying to pipe it or rolling little snakes of gumpaste and trying to mold them into the shapes.
The only other thing is checking with all your local cake decorating shops and seeing if they have anything similiar.
Celcakes does a good mold, but I don't know if you can get it in the US?

Michaels, Hobby Lobby and Joanns all carry that Wilton mold. It's really easy to find.
If you do end up using it, fondant comes out of it a lot easier if you've mixed some tylose into the fondant.
Could you use something like this as a pattern to follow for piping :
