ivory wedding cake done in fondant. Gumpaste day of the dead bride and groom. modeled over thick gauge floral wire and painted with paste colors thinned with a little vodka.
This was my first wedding cake and I have to say I chose it was pain-stakingly difficult!! I love Italian meringue buttercream, but for some reason my recipe did not turn out right, it was so soft. I have made it a hundred times, but something went wrong when I doubled it. I highly recommend using a traditional American buttercream for the outside of a cake like this and maybe save the Italian buttercream for the layers. Any non-crusting recipe is very tedious to work with! Anyway, the whole cake is buttercream and the flowers are gumpaste. Gumpaste will not soften like fondant decorations when they are sitting on a soft icing, so use gumpaste if you are using a soft, non-crusting buttercream.
Two 9 inch layer cakes topped with half of a Wilton ball cake. Everything frosted in italian buttercream. Pom pom strings piped in 3 different colors with Wilton tip #7. Gumpaste megaphone and black food coloring pen used for name and detail.
I have seen this cake done on cake central before and I just had to try it for a birthday party. This is two 8 inch layer cakes torted and frosted in buttercream, then cut up to fit in the oval dish. I then covered the cake in a thin layer of ivory (Wilton) tinted fondant, and then covered it again with more fondant prepared with a pasta machine. The sauce is pureed strawberries, melted chocolate and orange and yellow food coloring. Meatballs are german chocolate cake balls and cheese is unsweetened coconut.
