has anyone ever used this technique to decorate a wedding cake? Just wondering if it would be 'ok' to do so..........I really like the effect.

I love what you can do with these.
I do cakes like this alot but never wedding cakes. I am sure you could though.
Here's a really good step by step demo. I also saw this on Sugar Rush.

I think I've seen this technique, not sure though.... So do you use the joconde like lady fingers? I understand the part of the cigarette paste - it's the decorative lines on the joconde (right?). But I'm still a little unsure of the joconde - I understand it's like a thin sponge cake (right?) and you use it to line the outside of a cake - like lady fingers (right?), but is it thinner? and do you cut it in sections or is it supposed to be one continuous liner? I guess it couldn't be continuous on a large cake - Anyway, I'm just trying to remember this technique.
Edited to say: Sorry!
I didn't realise the link was posted earlier. I had read the first post earlier in the day.

I was intrigued, I had never heard of this before. I did a search and came up with this wonderful demo.

A lot of hard work, you need a high level of skill, knowledge and patience!

I think the demo is very helpful. My first attempt was pretty successful. I would give myself a B+. Some of the cigarette paste was to thin in some places so the design was not even.
It looks difficult but it really isn't. Heck, if I can do it.....then anybody can. 
just got back from egullet and wendy's presentation made it look soooo simple almost as simple as making tamales (not hard just a lot of small steps). I think that i will give this a try for my next cake looks lovely and can get most of the stuff here (don't know about the acetate sheets though will prolly have to see if sugarcraft has them)
