Hello everyone,

[postimage id="5266" thumb="900"]

Anyone have advice on how to do this "ruffle" technique? (I can't think of a better word for it...)

It appears to me that fondant or modeling chocolate was used on the cake but would it be at all possible to do this with buttercream? And if not buttercream, am I correct in thinking that modeling chocolate an option?

Thanks!

yes yes yes yes yes to all your ideas -- you'd need a large wide rose tube and I would squosh it to the thinness I wanted because those look very thin 

best to you

I agree with K8. You could easily do this with the biggest rose tip in buttercream if you wanted to.

That looks to me to be b'cream.  K8 is right about using a huge rose tip and probably squishing it flatter - especially on the thick end.
