How Would You Decorate This Pillow Cake?
Decorating By projectqueen Updated 31 Aug 2007 , 9:01pm by onceuponacake
I need to make a small pillow cake (I'm starting with a 10" square before carving) with a fondant/gumpaste tiara on top BUT the cake is for a 16 year old girl AND her 11 year old sister.
The mom wants the cake to say "happy birthday" with both girls names and their ages somewhere on the cake. I won't have much room on the top since the tiara will be in the middle and there are no "sides" to write on since it's a pillow shape.
I don't want to write all that much on the board so I need some help!
Can anyone think of a super cute way to decorate this cake?
Could you somehow make Gumpaste or somekind of letters, very elegant looking of course, attatch them to 2-3" wires, and line them up along the back of the cake to say "happy birthday"..maybe in a domed shape to match the arch of the tiara...
And then, in front of the tiara, pipe the girls names and ages, on seperate corners??
This is the only thing I could think of!! That's alot of stuff to put on a tiara cake!! I'm not sure if it would take too much attention away from the tiara, but it's just an idea~ Maybe use white floral wire...
Thanks, Sarsi.
Do you think I should make 2 smaller tiaras and put a 16 on one and an 11 on the other and then write their names in front of the tiaras?
Think that's too much tiara?
Then I could still have the "Happy Birthday" standing up like you suggested.
Anyone?
Hmmm, good point.
I'd have to see what size I could make them where they would still sit on the flat part of the pillow.
what about a gumpaste or fondant *scroll* with the message on it? ties in with the pillow and the tiaras.
