Hi,

 

I just been given this photo by a bride who wants me to create this cake for her wedding.  It's done in buttercream.  How does one achieve this nest-like texture?  Is it just randomly piped on? (then maybe slightly pressed down after it's crusted a bit?)  Looks so randomly perfect.  Anyone done a cake like this before?  Any pointers?

 

Thanks!!

Wow.  That's crazy that the exact photo has another on here stumped.  I didn't find that thread in all my searching.  I'm still stumped but will just have to experiment I guess.

 

Thanks much.
