How do you think I can get this look for the bottom square tier? Do you think the cake was carved like that and then the lavender fondant added to look like a lid? Or is this lid a separte piece from the cake? Please help!
I have never done a cake like this, however, if I was to make this I would make the square bottom tier and use a seperate pc of fondant to cover the top to make it look like a lid, I would just use a thicker fondant to make it stand out and look like it is bigger. Hope that helps.
Thanks all! Never thought that it might be a specialty baking pan too!
Doubt it's a "special pan"...........more likely the result of not having a crisp edge on the cake before applying the fondant and then putting a 2nd layer of fondant on it. It really rounds the edges a lot.
I do my boxes using panels of fondant, 4 sides one color, 1 top for the lid color. I then cut 4 long strips of the top color and make the edges. I like the results.
Just another option.

Blakescakes - How did you get the detail in the ribbon? Looks so pretty!
I have First Impressions bead molds and this is the ultra mini. For the bow loops, I made the loops and added the detail. For the long ribbons, I put the ribbon on the box and then added the detail.
You could also pipe it with a #1 or #2 tip, but that's a WHOLE lot of effort.
