I have attached a picture of the cake a bride has asked me to do...
It seems easy enough, but I'm having problems with one thing
Her colors for her wedding are Ivory, Black and Gold
She wants the cakes covered in Ivory and not white
the seperator plates are white and so are the pillars
I don't know (well at least i don't think they will) look good together
has anyone else had this problem...
The flowers won't be an issue bc shes having her florist do sprays for the cake, I just have to add them
HELP PLEASE!!!
well, instead of using the seperator plates they have shown in the book, use the crystal look (clear) plates that actually spike throught the cake on the bottom instead of having a seperated plate rest on top of the bottom cake. hope i'm making sense. I think the clear seperator plates would look better. I did a wedding cake in ivory and used the clear spikes, you can look in my pictures if you want to see it (labeled my first wedding cake, i think). See what you think........
I liked the idea of the crystal pillars, maybe I should run it by the bride.
She picked out the one with the seperator plates but I don't know if she would like it in the white on ivory.
Also, painting it with royal? how in the world would that get smooth??
You could cover the plates and pillars with ivory fondant.
Well, you just do the whole run in thing. You take firmer royal and outline the edges and then water it down a bit and fill the rest in, so it kind of pools in between the outlines, it will be nice and smooth that way......Good luck, i'm sure you will do great!!!!

Once you get a good coat on there you can actually sand the ri with a fine grade of sand paper to get it perfectly smooth. This is what they do with alot of the cakes in the wilton yearbooks!
