I've been looking here for a couple of hours now for info on how they make the realistic looking cameos on classic royal icing decorated cakes--the ones that usually have the square or round plates made of flo-RI, and have the lacy decorations and such.
They look like they have been molded, but are actually piped. The RI must have some flo to it, but maybe they are done in layers? Parts are translucent thin like the skirts or feather edges, others are thick and opaque.
Is there a tutorial somewhere on this subject?

You mean something like this....or no??
The book "Royal Icing" by Eddie Spence shows how to make those plaques. Just got the book in the mail. Can't wait to dig into it!

This is what I'm looking for. Not molded of gum paste or fondant, but made of royal icing.
This is a better example of what I want to learn how to do:

I'm going to have to check that book out then. I have Joseph Lambeth's, and did find lots of pictures there, so I may have what I need after all! :)
This technique is called pressure piping. Although I do not do this, I'm fascinated by the technique and skills of what can be created by a master royal icing artist. Here's a book currently available on Amazon:

Above is the link on Amazon. This book teaches you everything you ever wanted to know about royal icing. Truly amazing!
