Found this amazing cake on GIMME SOME SUGAR in Las Vegas
How do you think they did this ruffle effect?
Strips of fondant- paint the stripes- ruffle it- then apply on cake?
I sssoooo want to do this!

You have the right idea.It is a lovely cake. Good luck with yours.Please post pics of yours .

Colette Peters has a how to ruffle video at Satin Ice's website. The website is www.rolledfondant.com.
I don't have a direct link to the video page on my phone.

Check out Satin Ice fondant tutorials, I think Collette Peters does a demo. She is just one of my favorite cake decorators. HTH

oh I am in love with that!! awesome cake

I would add tylose powder and ruffle it the same as I would if I were going to sew ruffles....just make sodt pleats,,hope that helps

Looking really closly at the picture, I think the stripes were painted on and then ruffled, but not really sure.

I have a sweet 16 coming up that I might have to try it on!

Thanks gang!
