Hi
I have just been asked to make 2 x 3 tier cakes one of which need the bottom to have the different colour stripes on it. What I need to know is the best way to do them. Do you cut them and place on cake or is there another method??
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,

If youwill use fondant, you can rolled and enlarge a piece of one color and
put over another rolled and enlarge piece of fondant of different color, wave together and put at the bottom cake.

Hi there ... if you want the stripes that don't overlap on each other (just single stripes), just cut strips out of your fondant (you could measure the first one and then use that as a guide for the rest of them), and then put a dab of water on the back of the stripe and stick it on the cake (assuming you're putting fondant stripes on a fondant-covered cake). If you're putting fondant stripes on a buttercream-covered cake, a couple dots of RI or BC on the back of the stripes should work just fine as your glue. Hope this is the info that you're looking for! icon_smile.gif
