Flexique™ Instant Lace Cake Contest Entry Michele Sweeney

Michele Sweeney of Epicurean Delights®, LLC in Kirkland, WA created a wedding cake themed on "Stained Glass" for our Flexique Instant Lace Contest.

I really enjoyed working with the Flexique product line and how easy they are to use. I love that I can create cake wrappers out of the product and how quickly the product sets up.

After much play with the products I really liked the effect I got when mixing chocolate with Flexique. It allowed me to create almost like a chocolate leather that I was able to dust with pearl dust to create a more silk-like look.

I ended up using a scrapbooking cutter to create my floral fan. Other products used: The fancy sprinkles are from the Epicurean Delights sprinkle line and the Isomalt used is from CakePlay. Color dusts used are by The Sugar Art.

I love the vibrant colors of the stained glass and the simplicity of it. I feel that the isomalt I used on the flower centers gives it a nice glass feel.

I love how the dragees look between the layers with the same color palette found on the stained glass featured on the middle tier. The pops of the ever popular Pantone color “Greenery” throughout make this a great summer wedding cake in my opinion.
