Can anybody give me advice on how to make the apple and what are the red and white leaves or feathers I see on most of the twilight cakes?

My daughter wants one for her birthday but I dont watch the programme so no nothing about it.

Hi there. I made a twilight themed cake last month. To make the apple I just formed a ball of red sugar paste and put it in a flower former for three days. I then made a little brown stem and placed it in the top and then painted it with edible glaze.

I believe the flower is a ruffled tulip.

Thank you Cakegirl, your cake is lovely, I will give it a try.

What is a ruffled tulip?

Just google ruffled tulip, it's an actual flower. If you google ruffled tulip gumpaste, tutorials on how to make them come up. You can even search on here, there are threads which have covered this previously.

I'm on my phone, I tried to copy links but it didn't work.

Hello,

like Lisapeps said, it is a ruffled tulip. Here is an example of a twighlight cake where the tulip looks great:

Have fun making this cake, can't wait to see the pics.

All the best,

I am a huge Twilight fan and cake decorator but I haven't had the opportunity to make a Twi cake unforunately! Any advice as to what's what I'll be happy to gude you

It's actually called a "parrot tulip". Thought that might help in your search for pictures.

A parrot tulip.....ok, I will google it

Thank you, everyone has been so helpful.

I am not making this cake until middle of March but I will try post a picture

To all the people who gave me advice for my twilight cake, thank you.

Here is a picture of the finished cake. I was quite happy how it turned out.....apart from the ruffled tulip, it prooved harder than I thought

Hope you like it

Cute! Well done!

So excited to see this thread. My birthday is next month and I have decided that this year I am going to get the cake that I want even if it means I bake it. I'm doing a Twilight cake. I've already bought the chess chocolate mold and all this information is going to make everything else come together.

Thanks for all the information and thanks to the OP for asking!

Hi christineCMC

Hope your cake turns out fine and hope you can post us a picture when it is done. The most difficult part for me was the ruffled tulip but everything else was pretty straight forward.

Good luck with it
