Flexique™ Instant Lace Cake Contest Entry Fallon Rae Bearb

Fallon Rae Bearb of Fallon Rae Cakes in Lafayette, LA created a pink, floral wedding cake themed on "Stained Glass" for our Flexique Instant Lace Contest.

When I found out that I was going to be able to make a cake using Flexique, I was super excited. I’ve seen so many beautiful cakes showcasing all of the various ways to use this product, but I hadn’t yet tried it out myself and I was eager to get started. The new Flexique Instant Lace came premixed and ready to be used. This made using the product for the first time that much easier.

I knew I wanted to emphasize the fact that the Flexique stained glass is actually see-through, but I still wanted a simple background to be able to see the details of the stained glass. So, I decided to use LED lights to really showcase that element.

I knew I wanted depth and highlights added to the stained glass flowers, but I didn’t want to do block coloring. I decided to experiment with a few different techniques and ended up learning that I could just paint directly onto the back of the stained glass and it would show through on the other side. I did this with all of the stained glass flowers on the tiers. I used Flexique Instant Lace for the outlines of the leaves and painted the centers with edible gold paint.
