Hi all.
Just joined this forum and need some help, I have a cake to do which I have attached and was looking for some help, the cake is from Erica OBrien Cake Design is the USA but she seems to be closed and I have no other ideas on how to create this....Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Theresa.
It looks like the cake was iced with a smooth, heavy layer of crusting buttercream, and then she used an impression mat or put the lines in by using a spatula or ruler. Putting the lines in by hand would be tedious and time consuming, but could be done. It looks too perfect though, so I'm thinking she created an impression mat.
I agree that it looks like an impression mat was used.
if I did that I would use one of those cake combs for the horizontal lines -- yes on a thick coat of crusting buttercream -- before it crusts -- then i'd go back over with a ruler for the straight up & down marks -- and I would give the ruler a slight wiggle back & forth to create the slight bevel --
that's my first thought -- should work but there's probably other ways -- although nothing wrong with simple either -- in fact I would cut the cake comb myself --
the greenery appears to be fresh
Yes, I agree with -K8memphis, it is a texture comb and (I believe) it was first used to make the horizontal lines, then turned to make the vertical lines because they appear identical.
