Okay on the cake attached...is this a sheet of fondant, folded in places to ripple, and then laid on the front of the cake? Or is it rolls of fondant laid over the cake?
I want to say its like a big sheet swag, folded and then laid over...but I wanted to check. Customer is paying for a mini 6" one to see if she likes how it looks and tastes first before booking her wedding.
I'm completely useless. But that's really elegant.
Looking at it again it almost looks like they pleated the very same piece of fondant they used to cover the cake. Hmm....
I thought the very same thing; sort of like you would fold the corners of a gift, but not so creased/tight.
I'd bet ya $20 those are little sausages of fondant underneath a sheet of fondant, then smoothed over. I would just email the creator, see if they tell you what they did. I do it all the time if I can't figure it out....usually works out for me!
That's exactly what I was thinking - long, thin ropes of fondant under the sheet.

Yeah, it almost looks like the very inner folds, which look like something really interesting themselves, esecially the very top tiers...ahhh, nevermind....ok! The very inner folds, look like they may be folds only, nothing under them.
I need to do something else for awhile. That cake is like taking a Rorschach test. 
Edna has one in her gallery on her site that is similar....maybe she would be able to give some insight.
And Edna, did one of hers (if not the one you are talking about) in BC! 
Funny...I was thinking og Edna's cake when I first popped into this thread!
Does anyone have a link to Edna's cake? I see she has pages and pages and pages of cakes and I didn't see it...

You just took the words out of my mouth...erm...keyboard! I was just going to say the same thing.
Beautiful cake!
I say folded pleats... no sausages just really good folding.... maybe they could do my laundry for me sometime.
The original says it was inspired by one of colette's cakes. Does anybody have her books handy to get the 411?
Well there's a similar cake in "Cakes to Dream on" page 43, but it doesn't have the pleating. It does have fondant strips though to give a sort of similar effect. (still looking...)
Well I didn't see anything in her books and I have several of them. Sorry!
Anyone guessing about that?
