Hi CC! So I struggle with doing the whole "textured" cake technique. I guess I want things to look uniform! Any who, does any one know how the bottom tier of this cake was textured? And how did they get that ombre look? I'm pretty sure it wasnt airbrush. Thanks for the help!.

the ombre could be brushed on dust -- easy peasy

the texture could be imitated by piping little dits & dots of icing onto smoothy smooth crusting buttercream or fondant then smudged back & forth with a spatula -- this is probably not the only way but you could get there from here

Yes, the pic is very over 'zoomed in on' so it's really a guess.  I think small bits of fondant were placed on the cake, the the whole thing covered w/more fondant  OR what k8 said.

I found a better version of the picture...How Was This Texture Made?


Basically it looks like they just took some crusting butter cream and roughly spread it on the cake and then added bits of gold leaf.

Thank you guys! I wasnt sure if it was a crusted buttercream or something else. Wish me luck!

Oh!  Now we can realy tell it's exactly what Freckles said............it looks to me to be a fondant covered cake, small amounts of pink b'cream was smeared on then real gold leaf bits added.  That is going to be one expensive cake!! :)
