I am going to attempt to make my first sculptured cake for my daughter's 7th birthday. it will be in the shape of a purse and I would like to give it a quilted look - any ideas on how to make the pattern so that everything is even. I will be using buttercream as I am not a big fan of fondant. Help
you can also make your own. get a piece of stiff cardstock and make a 90 degree triangle . set it against the crusted buttercream and carefully mark a line every inch or so using the side of a ruler to imprint the line. then flip it and do the same going the opposite direction. you can then add a dragee or a bc dot where the lines meet if you'd like.
For the time you'll save and all the future use, I too recommend an impression mat. They work great and do not cost much. If you have a local cake shop, give them a call to see if they have them. Otherwise all the big name websites carry them.
