I'm fairly new to this whole cake decorating thing but I've opened up my own cake decorating business where I do treats and cakes and cupcakes and cookies and yeah. Well I have a friend who has asked me to do not her wedding cake, but do a groom's cake for her soon-to-be husband. I really want to do it for her to get my name out there and also because I would love to try it out! I'm a little stuck on how I would do the piano keys on this cake (how to make it 'staircase' like that) and what size pans I should use to get the right looking tiers. Any help possible would be greatly appreciated!

 

Oh- and there are music notes on the bottom tier that I'm not quite sure how to do. It looks like they puff out a little but I don't know where to find any sort of stencil so I'm not sure how to do it.

 

Thank you sooo much and here is the cake I'm trying to do: (not due til september)

AThere's a tutorial on this site that shows how to do the spiral type cakes. It requires carving and a lot of toothpicks.

The notes aren't stencils; they're hand piped.

so the notes are just made dimensional? i guess i was just hoping there was a little stencil to do it because my music notes aren't too great, but thank you so much for your help. i really really appreciate it!

AYou can always use a mold to make the notes if you don't want to pipe them. I think Costumeczar has some on her etsy site.
