Any advice please on how to achieve this torn paper look on cake? Can we possibly use rice paper? How is the best way to adhere it to the cake? Thank you!!

That is unique and gorgeous; never seen anything like it.  Super-thin pieces of fondant torn with fingers may be the answer.  To adhere the torn super-thin pieces of fondant you'd need to just dampen the center of the torn piece with gumpaste glue or vodka or water in the center of the torn piece and stick it on.  You'd need to leave the edges free.

I literally just saw a cake with this effect ... On a advertisement by Wilton at Michaels. Said the effect was done using icing sheets. Thought it was so neat I even took a pic, but can't figure out how to insert pic into this post.

Thanks for the responses :) Yeah, I was thinking wafer paper.. fondant might be too labor intensive? How would you rip the paper and attach it to the cake?


Can I simply crumbcoat and attach the paper on the buttercream, or will I need to cover the cake in fondant? 


What is unpressed camo? Thanks!!
