Butterflies & Jewels
I made this wedding cake whilst on vacation this week as a wedding gift for our friends who are getting married on the 24th August. All I knew was that her colours were ivory and baby pink, so I based my cake around that! 6in, 8in & 10in beautiful boozy rich fruit cakes, covered in marzipan and then in ivory fondant. Dusted with ivory pearl lustre dust and trimmed with pink ribbon and diamond jewel trim. Ribbon roses are fondant and the topper is pink jewelled hearts and silk butterflies.
Very pretty - love the border too!!! :wink:
Beautiful! :D :D
great cake what are the jewels made of? and how did you dust your pearl lustre on so good? :roll:
So pretty! Did you dust the lustre straight onto the cake or did you mix it with something first? Any tips on how not to get the lustre looking patchy???
Dust it as soon as possible after covering with fondant and use a big blusher brush in circular movements - works for me anyway! I also recommend making your fondant a similar colour as the lustre, it makes for a much even look. Hope that helps!
love it!!!
