I was thinking along the same line as Doug. The lines look like they're indented into, not lying on top of, the fondant. I saw Mary Maher do a similar thing once on Amazing Wedding Cakes. She just took a fondant veining tool and made lines all over the fondant. This cake looks like they then filled them in with luster dust.
Agreed, embossed and gilded. It's a lovely cake.
I like Doug's idea and I love the cake. The flowers are beautiful and I also like the color.
I think if I were to try to do this, I would take some dental floss, wrap it around the cake like a ribbon, and pull tight so it would make an indent. Then, I'd pipe sparkle piping gel along the lines that were made.
BTW... did you find that cake here on CC, or maybe flickr? I'd love to add it to my favorites.
- the lines look indented and filled in with the glittery piping gel. Have fun! I think if I were to try to do this, I would take some dental floss, wrap it around the cake like a ribbon, and pull tight so it would make an indent. Then, I'd pipe sparkle piping gel along the lines that were made.
