I am making a cake for my DS, and have seen a few cakes on here with quilling on them. I have no idea how to make them nor how I would attach them to cake..If anyone could help me with this I would so greatly appreciate it!!! I was trying to find the pic of the cake I seen to attach it but now cannot find it!!!!

Hi,

I am eager to know more about quilling on a cake too!!

Your link got separated, so here it is again:

If it is a buttercream cake, you can just press them into the cake. If it is fondant, attach with royal icing. Also best to use a quilling tool made specifically for quilling gumpaste.

izzybee, thanks for the info, where can I find a quilling tool? Have you dont it before? Is it hard to do?? Oh and what do I use to make it? Gumpaste or Fondant??

see my answer here:

AND

quilling tool shouldn't be needed (not to mention gumpaste/fondant couldn't be rolled thin enough to work with it) as fondant/gumpaste will stick to sell unlike paper.

just use finger to start it rolling over on itself and away you go.

Thanks Doug...I've been wanting to try this technique as well. Cheers

I get it thin enough by using a pasta machine without any problems.

I have a sugarcraft quilling set, I live in the UK and I got it online here from http://www.apieceofcakethame.co.uk/view_products.aspx?txtSearch=Guy+Paul

It cost £5.30 and has a roller cutter that cuts seven strips at a time and a pin to twirl. it also comes with a pattern leaflet.

I use ready made flower paste (gum paste) with it and then edible glue to stick it onto the cake. It does take time to do but I love the effect.

I fell in love with the idea when I saw I_heart_pastry's cake. I have tried to find a picture of the Colette Peters cake that she mentions but I haven't managed to see it. Does anyone know if it is in one of her books? I can' see it on her website.
