This cake is fondant which isn't the smoothest, I like buttercream better. The circles and pasleys are done in fondant and the rope is done with chocolate satin ice. Taste like a tootsie roll. Bride wanted me to make a topper and truthfully it's not in me. (she did like it). What do you put on these modern cakes? I need help. TFL Again the brown and orange looked nicer in person. Color from camera isn't on.
