Ruffles and pearls
My sister wanted an over the top pink and white cake for her granddaughter's birthday today, so this is what I came up with. She is a little girly girl to the max. This cake is an almond sour cream white cake, with almond butter cream icing. Pearls are made from gum paste and super pearl luster dust. Double row of ruffles at the bottom done in pink and white. Used a small rose mold to place a gum paste and luster dusted rose in between each set of ruffles. The white flowers at the top is actually brushed embroidery, but with real butter cream, it seemed to melt too much back into the cake. Used pearl dragees in two different sizes, big ones on the top border, and small ones in the white flower area.

OOoooo Linda....what a beauty!!!! I love the pink, so delicate & pretty. Every decorator should have a "signature" style, and this is definitely yours!!! You do it SOoooo well. Your bottom white ruffle, what tip number did you use? I have been inspired by you & Sandra's Victorian rose cakes.....her signature as well. I am making two 6" cakes form my nephew & his bride to cut this May. I want elements of your piping, and Sandra's roses & lustre dusted cakes in my cake. So after I finish working on all the elements for my b-day cake for next wknd, and the cake is done, I am going to practice. Going to work on my piping, and do a dummy fondant cake and try getting the effect on it with lustre dust like Sandra.

Thank you Goreti. It would be prettier with gum paste flowers on it, but I know my crew here love to fight over who gets a flower piece of cake! Goreti, I also added one of the Shirely Wilson plaques with Happy Birthday on it, but it wasn't dry enough when I took the pics to stand up in front of the cake.

Thank you Gail...what was the name of the book? Black and white must be the 'in thing' right now. I keep seeing it pop up all over the place, and not just in the cake contest here.
