Hi,
My book is on order through my local cake supply store. I saw it has some cute cakes that are frosted and then sprinkled with maybe colored sugar. I'd like to make a cake like this and need to know if it is just buttercream frosting and colored sugar. Can someone confirm this? Thanks!

are you referring to the 2006 Wilton Yearbook? If so, I went through and really didn't see anything that uses colored sugars. I did see cakes that use sprinkles and in those cases it IS sprinkles on top of buttercream. Hope that helps.

I am talking about the new Wilton Tiered Cakes book. It is really one of the best books I've seen from Wilton.

Okay, got the book in front of me. The heart shaped 3 tier cake is done with fondant but it says to use a sponging effect on that one. Doesn't have "sugar". The green three tier circle says to lightly ice with buttercream then cover with rolled fondant. Thin 2 - 3 tablespoons of piping gel with water; brush on cakes and immediately sprinkle with sparkling sugar. Hope this helps. Same goes for the Retro Romance which is a three tier white one with fondant rolled roses around it.

BTW - I agree - this is the best book that Wilton has come out with that I've seen!!! I'm getting the Tailored Tiers Cake Display Set and I already have the Globe Pillar and Base Sets.

Umm, fondant, ha? I going to try to use buttercream instead. Let's see how it turns out. Thanks a lot for looking into this!
