Graduated Pink Scrolls
This is a dummy cake that I've done for the Expat fair this weekend - hoping it'll get me some more customers, especially wedding ones! 4, 6, 9 &12in rounds covered in graduating pink fondant then dusted with Supreme Sparkle dust (thanks CC!). Scroll work and borders are RI which has been painted with a 50/50 mix of Supreme Sparkle & Super Pearl lustre dust. Heart are gumpaste dipped in White Diamond edible glitter. I woke up at 3am last week with this design in my head and just had to do it!
The thought of a pink wedding cake made me nervous....until I saw yours. It is absolutely beautiful!I am shocked as to how much I love the colour. The whole cake is stunning!
what shade of pink?
I used Squire's Kitchen 'Rose' to colour the fondant - a little bit in the tier, and then I just kept adding more to each batch of fondant as the tiers progressed. I think you could get the same effect with Americolors Electric Pink which I love. I don't like thier general pinks - a bit too Barbie for my taste!
pretty in pink.. :)
That is just gorgeous! I just love the gradual shades of pink :)
Wow! What an idea it was! It's absolutely amazing!
It is beatiful, great idea and perfectly done!

Bold and beautiful- looks very time consuming!!
Beautiful! I really like the graduated pink. You painted all that RI?? That must have taken forever.

Great job. I will be doing cake very similar to yours come November. How did you do the scroll work? It looks so uniformed
Beautiful job.
I just free-handed the scroll work - I'm not keen on the look of the press scrolls, so I just piped one long scroll every 4-6ins or so, and then piped further scrolls coming off it and went with the flow!
Soooo pretty. I love it.
WOW! I can "dream" them, I just can't DO them ! This is just beautiful..... I hope you won !
