Course 4 / Fondand And Gum Paste

I didn't like any of the choices in the book, so I took some creative liberties. The c ake is buttercream, fence is fondant used with a lattice circle for pie crusts. Flowers and butterflies are gum paste. Thanks for looking!

I love this cake! How do you get the lattice over the cake without it getting all stretched out?

Love the look of this cake. Great idea.

I love the colors and I have never heard of a lattice pic crust cutter although I have seen crusts like that. Not to fond of the butterflies but the overall design is very nice.

It's gorgeous, and the lattice is genius....I'll have to try that sometime, if you don't mind.

Thank you all so much for the compliments. As a beginning cake decorator, they have really encouraged me. For anyone interested in the pie circle, here is a link to where you can find one. (...)

Well, apparently I can't post the link :-(. Try searching "lattice pie top cutter" in google, they should be easy to find.

Well this is one of the most beautiful course 4 cakes I have seen.....I love it....You should be extra proud of making up your own idea. I agree the cakes in the book are not all that.....This is wonderful......Going to add it to my fav list so I can make one like it soon.
