Welcome misspatti to CC
I haven't seen alot of it on here - just the occassional picture.
Have you Googled *quilling on cakes* and then not only checked with the web but also goggle images - there are hundreds of pages to browse through and many a blog showing different styles and ideas.
Such a beautiful art when seen on cakes, isn't it?

I use the Wilton fondant embosser . You can use the smooth edge or use the serrated edge for a stitching look to your quilting.
TO quilt using a ruler start at one corner and align it at a 45 degree angle. (AKA Diagonal) Using the ruler as a guide make your outline with medium pressure. Then use the ruler to make the same markings in one to two inch increments all the way across.
When you get to the the end, reverse the angle of the ruler to the opposite side ( a reflection of what you did in the first direction) and repat the steps. Every line you make in this direction will cross the first lines you made and create the diamond pattern that comes with quilting.
I hope that helps!
Meli,
Your quilting tips are very helpful. Thanks for them.
However, Misspatti is looking for quiLLing, not quilTing, on cakes.
maybe I used the wrong term...it's sounds like the quilting is what I want. Sorry--where they often put a little silver ball in each little corner and it looks so beautiful!!
That's quiLTing, not quiLLing! Both look good on cakes!
Sorry, Meli. MY mistake!
Misspatti, did you try searching for "quilted" cakes? Here are the results I got:

I did mine using an old tracing wheel; you can make a good template using a paint stirrer (new of course) which has a 45 degree cut at the ends.

BY the way Miss Patti I added some pics to my gallery and there is a coin purse I did that was quilted, maybe that will help as a visual to what I advised yesterday. Good luck !
