I was pleased with the way the cupcakes turned out. I was concerned they wouldn't look nice, but I think they have an elegant look when placed around the cake.

That's really beautiful. Did you use gold luster dust on the cake?

I didn't use luster dust at all, but that would have been a good idea! The base of the cake is just a cake dummy covered in food-grade gold foil paper. The gold dots are dragees (pre-made). The gold around the middle tier and the bow on top is a metallic ribbon.

Maybe a silly question but how do you get your dragees so even...?

I was just looking at my older pictures and saw your question about the dragees. I have an impression mat with that marks the places where the dragees will go, then I simply attach with buttercream. :D
