I want to do a 9x13 cake with a light house on top. And I thought waves would look nice on the sides but I'm not sure what would be the best way to make them. I was thinking maybe a leaf tip or a petal tip. Also what about rocks. What would be the best way to make those?
Any imput is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
the first thing that came to mind was using the back of a spoon
I agree with gmcakes - swirling the buttercream is probably the way to go, just make sure you put some white buttercream at the tips if the waves and where they are breaking against the rocks for a realistic look! I'd make the rocks out of candy clay or fondant (coloured) if you can't buy them.
Thanks for the tips on the waves. but I've never used candy clay or fondant. and I don't have the things to make fondant this weekend. So do you think if I piped the rocks with a round tube and smoothed it. maybe using different shades of black and grey it would look all right.
I think you should still give fondant rocks a try...just make them out of marshmallow fondant..........can't you get marshmallows and powdered sugar???? They look so great out of fondant...I have a cake in my pics. the one with the mushroom if you look there are large rocks on the bottom by the waterfall and some smaller ones around the top of the waterfall they're all fondant and were sooooooo easy to make and in person at least, they looked very realistic!!!
