I need to know of a technique that I can use - besides bc - to achieve the look of a flaming border on my two-tiered groom's cake for this Friday. I'm still very new at doing anything other than bc, so any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated. I have a candy clay topper that I made for the cake with a fireman, hydrant and dalmation...someone suggested the polymer clay book with that piece in it. LOOKS GREAT. What an easy technique! Anyway, any and all ideas on how to achieve this look are welcome.

Thanks in advance!
Amy

THere are a few different ways you can do this.

Search the galleries using keywords. Harley, and Fireman. Do both seraches seperately. I know I have seen different ways of doing it. Then PM the person that you like their technique if they don't state what they did for the flames

Here are my suggestions.
1) Color flow
2) Fondant
3) Gumpaste

There was another, but i don't remember now. Guess i'm not typing fast enough this AM. LOL

I saw one that had taken red, yellow, orange clear candy (jolly Rancher type) and melted it in the broiler - then broke apart. Had that clear look like pulled sugar but not as much work. GOOD LUCK!!
