How did the cake artist achieve this look? Fondant for the pattern on the cake?
Thanks!
It's hard to tell because the pic is so far away. I'm thinking that they piped on the floral design and then used a paint brush for the petals?
Strange, how we all see something different...
I think it is narrow strips of fondant attached to make the petals. Then, a textured fondant button placed in the center.
Could also be achieved with buttercream and a rose tip...using the same technique one uses to make a icing ribbon bow...
The more I look at it...it does look more like it was piped on with buttercream and a rose tip...
ETA: 'Cause, when it's blown up, jiggly(and I ain't critisizin') piping is detectable on a couple of the petals. I imagine they had to be piped at awkward angles and would definitely put a strain on smooth piping....
and in order to give some of the petals 'lift', the decorator used dollops of buttercream where the outer petal would be then, piped the ribbon over the dollop (same technique (I can't remember who demonstrated them ) used to make dimensional buttercream flowers...
