This was the grooms cake at my halfsister's wedding 2 years ago. ( I Wish I had known about CC then and been obsessed about cake deco, cause I watched the guy(s) set up the cakes and took pics but didnt bother to ask at the time lol).
(Maybe easier to ask, if you are a cake decorator in Dallas area and recognize that cake as yours, you can possibly share how the strawberries were done. lol)

Anyone else seen those? (I Keep meaning to ask her whenever we're on the phone but I keep forgetting- to tell me the name of her cake decorator)? Wonder if that's white chocolate and dark chocolate for the tux strawberry, but wondering how the little dots were done on the 'bride' strawberry. And wondering how you'd dip those and how to set them to let them dry without getting the little marks of whatever it was resting on to dry.

Edited to add: I love them - they're SO Cute icon_biggrin.gif (and the cake(both of them) rocked! lol(grooms cake was very yummy chocolate

The berries are washed and carefully dried. Then dipped completely in white chocolate, set to dry on waxed paper-in the fridge.

They do end up with a flat spot on the back where they rest on the paper.

The tuxedo is then dipped sideways, twice in brown chocolate and dried again. The dots, tie, and buttons are added with melted chocolate in a small piping bag.
