I'm wondering what the best way is to get the look of the bottom tier... scrunched up ruffles.  I was thinking cut circles and scrunch them up but is there a better way to do this?  Thanks in Advance!   55a66a8cd6f3c.jpeg

The photo's not very clear, but that's either scrunched circles or blossoms. It's quite a time consuming process!

yes, it's time-consuming to say the least...Plan on how long you think it will take you then multiply that times three! To get a really uneven ruffly look use the blossom cutter, not the circle. The circle will make it look more uniform.

I did this look on a huge wedding cake last year. It was a 4 tier with the bottom and top tiers double barrels with this look.I used the blossom cutter and scrunched them. Yes, it did take FOREVER! And the cake was soooooooo HEAVY and had to go up a flight of very steep 22 step stairs in historic Savannah, Ga....no elevator at the venue!!! But it was a beautiful cake. :)
