This cupcake image was forwarded to me and I have no idea where it's from. Any ideas on how this design is made? To me, it looks like the flower vine is pressed down into the fondant. Maye it's dipped in poured fondant and then a fondant vine is pressed in before it sets? My customer wants a 6" fondant cake with this specific flower style. I think it looks so nice dented in a little, but don't know if I'll get the same effect. TIA!
Looks like the fondant stem was just gently pushed into the fondant while the fondant is still soft. I would try a cupcake and see if it works out. Doesn't seem too difficult.
So, I'm going to cover the cake in Satin Ice and then add this flower detail. Do you think it will look bad? I think the beauty of it comes alot from the depression. I just don't see that I can do this with regular fondant. Thoughts? Thank you so much!
It looks to me like they made a impression with a foundant tool and then added the design and gently press it so it wouldn't get smashed. I think if the just pushed the design into the foundant it would be more flat. By using a tool to make the depression, it allows the design to look more 3-d
Very good ideas! Thank you! And, I can't believe it, but I actually just found the artist of this cupcake in Flickr. What luck! It's from Sugar Bloom Cupcakes (www.sugarbloomcupcakes.blogspot.com). Just beautiful.
I just came across a method that showed this the other evening on the Internet when I couldn't sleep 
Unfortunately, I can't remember where...but the main idea was to roll out the bottom fondant layer and lay the design you want on top and then gently roll over both layers. It's something I plan on trying because the end results are quite good.
