I've been studing this for at least 10 minutes, trying to figure out how this was done... stencil with RI, circut cutout or free hand royal icing??? I need to make something similar and I'd like to try and figure out what technique I should be practicing to attempt this particular cake...

Any insight from any of you would be greatly appreciated!!!!

I know! I did put an attachment in there, but apparently I wasn't successful and I tried it 3 times. I thought maybe once I hit "submit", it would show up then... I apologize!

If I had to say I'd say it was piped on with royal... perhaps some fondant cutouts too, but I think piped.

Wow...that's some work. It looks like it's piped though.

It was done with piped royal icing and also some fondant or gumpaste hand or cutter cut-outs that were applied to the cake.

Wow... OK, maybe I'm going to regret telling the bride that she shouldn't be afraid to pick something a little more complex than what she'd initially chosen! icon_eek.gif

Oh well, maybe it's time for me to learn how to do this so that I can get rid of the fear of trying it.

if you're afraid of the piping, you could use a clay extruder to get really thin strings of fondant to use as the stems/vines. the leaves definitely looks like fondant cutouts.

A clay extruder! Such a great idea! Thank you all for your advice! I honestly don't know what I'd do without the cc forums sometimes!

I am new and can't figure out how you would pipe that design at the angle that cake is standing. It is straight up and down. Help shed some light. I am at a loss.

found this info on the photographers site: The cake was made for the couple barbara and darin and was published in the Knot. Cake made by Beaux Gateaux. With a quick google I found a larger pic http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/LVglQ2JK0HQhLQaF-ngpkg?select=CWEBHzkGCK3AaNAWInfU9g Good Luck hope the larger pick helps a little.

You could also paint it on then add gum paste or fondant pieces for more deminsion.

(I am new and can't figure out how you would pipe that design at the angle that cake is standing. It is straight up and down. Help shed some light. I am at a loss.)

You have to raise the cake higher on your turn table and have a very steady hand ... something to rest your elbow on.
