Hi - I need to make this cake and the bride found it from a martha stewart weddings magazine. Here is the website page: http://www.marthastewart.com/page.jhtml?type=content&id=channel2650052&page=5&edfParentCat=&subStyleType=&layout=&catid=cat472&navLevel=3&site=&dp=false
Does anyone one know where I might find directions - my biggest question is it 6" high teirs and how much should I charge. The bride wants the base to be 16" diameter and the top two tiers to be styrofoam.
I don't have directions but this looks like it would be a pretty easy cake. The bows are flat so you don't even have to worry about making them look puffed up.
I would get the Wilton wheel and use that for the stitching effect.
Good luck and be sure to post photos.
As far as pricing goes you need to think about how muuch you charge a slice normally. Alot depend on you area. In Dallas fondant is aprox 3 a slice this one will have to be done in fondant. On the dummy cakes I would charge a "decorating fee" maybe 30-35 a dummy. As far as directions this cake is very simple. Just butter cream cover in fondant and do strips of fondant maybe 2-3 inches in width. It tells you how to achieve the stick look you can go into a fabric store theys have a tool kind of like a pizza cutter not sure but it transfers ink onto fabric. If you ask the employes they should be able to help you. Anyway take wheel roll it through the color wanted and roll onto fondant. Then attach with water. The bows are easy and same thing hope that helps.
The tool is called a tracing wheel. If I were doing this cake....I'd achieve the 6" height with 3 2" cakes, and I'd use the wilton charts for serving and charge half again what the charts told me to charge for a two layer cake. For example....if a 2 layer cake served 25 people....and my fee was$3 per serving....I'd charge $75 plus 37.50 for the third layer.
