I'm making 10-9x13-4 sheetcakes for the wedding I'm on doing in a week and a half (PANIC!) and there wasn't any design specified for them - just that they're covered in Tiffany Blue Fondant like the huge 4 tier stacked fake cake I'm doing for display.

The colors are tiffany blue, white and black. There will be pearls along the bottom of each layer in the huge stacked cake. What would you do to add some simple decoration to the sheetcakes.

are these going to be on display also?
if not, i don't see why you would have to add anything more really. the frosting and border should be enough. if you really wanted to, you could use an impression mat to make a pretty pattern on the top.

See, we hadn't discussed any border on the sheetcakes. I'm trying to decide on piping a snail trail border or using fondant pearls.

if not on display but wanting to make an impression when served -- how about

1. premark cake for cutting (so the staff gets it right) impression mats for this or just lightly draws indentations.

2. centered in each indentation a very samll drop flower or rose.

3. in center of drop flower/rose -- a single white pearl.

caked is iced in tiffany blue of course.

-------------

wonders: and what if it were black pearls in a white drop flower/rose?

or....white icing, tiffany blue flower/rose w/ black pearl?

what about no border and a simple fondant loop bow and a trailing ribbon?

See Doug, you and I think alot alike - I was thinking the black pearl thing too... that would look SWEET.

Must think on this.
