I downloaded a crown pattern, cut it out of mm fondant, then let dried it over the side of a 6" round cake pan. I then painted it gold with luster dust. After it dried I added candy hearts as jewels.

Royal does a nice job too.

How would I do it with royal icing? How would I get it to stand and curve like the crown.

I also made a crown out of fondant. It didn't want to harden up as much as I wanted it to though. Next time I plan to use a mixture of fondant and gumpaste. :-)

JFYI, I always use fondant with tylose powder. it's 1tsp of tylose powder to 1 pnd of fondant. It hardens wonderfully:)

I made one a couple of years ago.  Anyway, I just googled and got inspired.  It was very easy.  I molded it around a can so it would keep its form until dry.  i used fondant with a bit of tylose mixed in.

 

Here is a nice one that should be fairly easy.

 

The cake I made  I wish I had made the roping more delicate before putting together.

 

Good luck!  can't wait to see it.
