I have to do a replica of the lace work on the brides dress onto th ecake, so here is question one! First off, I always have trouble with the icing breaking or cracking, but if I thin it the color bleeds...any advice? Any recipes or frosting tips to make the flow better? Also, the cake is white mmf and the brides colors are DEEP burgundy. should I use royal icing or bc to do this and how in the world will I keep the burgundy from bleeding to the white mmf? Thanks for any advice!

you might want to do it in royal icing because it doesn't bleed like BC. Also, try putting a little piping gel in it to prevent the cracking and breakingicon_smile.gif

i did an intricate piped "embroidery" design on the wedding cake in my photos. i was worried about the cracking and breaking too, so i added a bit of corn syrup to my icing. it worked great! kept the icing nice and smooth.
