Thatr's an ecellent observation; I would have never guessed that. I was thinking maybe it was dried with dowel rods underneath then plaxced on the cake, but I figured it would get to dry and not be pliable enough to work with.
Anypone else have any ideas?
If you used fondant ropes, you would have to make sure that you made the rope in a triangle shape so you would get a nice crease. You wouldn't want a rounded surface on the rope under the drape. Of course, I've never done this, but it is how I would try it!
that interesting because it does show the layers of the cake, hmmmmm wonder if they did it with dowels and removed them after on the cake, hm but how would they have done the top. maybe on the counter with dowels let it set up andthewitonthecakereallyfast. lol beautiful cake
I think they are triangle shaped ropes. You can tell by looking at the very bottom edge of the 5th & 6th ropes from the left. You can make these triangle ropes easily with a clay extruder.
I've got it!
The piece was made on the counter/tabletop with dowels or ropes and allowed to dry. When time to place on cake, 2 people held it on either side while the 3rd person used a steamer to make it pliable enough for positioning...(creating the wet lookof it as well)
