Hi Meera..just wanted to say the cake is absol AMAZING!!!!...I too wanted to make something similar for my mom andwas wondering if you could help me with some questions:

1. Did you use fondant for the saree or something else.

2. How did u get the gold lustre in the end....did you air spray?

 

Thanks,

Susan.

Hey Susan, thanks so much for the compliments...it was a challenge but i'm glad it worked out well! :)

To answer your questions:

1.  Yes I used fondant and worked really quickly with it when placing it on the cake, as it starts to dry...

2.  I first put an impression on the fondant (prior to placing it on the cake) and then used gold air brush spray and sprayed the edges of the saree.

The description of the cake on flickr says "White chocolate dough sari"

Your cake is beautiful!

Modeling chocolate is a lot more forgiving than fondant, so that's probably why it works on the long drape on the original.
