This would make one heck of a great tutorial!!
Hi Jauquette, thank you! I'm not at home this week and no pics on this laptop, but I'll post one on Saturday when I get home so you can see. Yes collars can be tricky, but they are so beautiful. Firstly the floor was painted on the top of the cake. Then the black was placed on the cake and the detail piped on (outline, squares, pressure piped flowers and running beads around the edge in blue) The figure was a pressure piped run out and completed on cellophane along with the moon, vase, lillies and the ladies hat, feathers and tail feathers were all separately piped onto cellophane. These items were all added with dots of royal icing to give them a 3d decoupage effect on the cake (so first the moon, then vase, then lady, then lillies in vase, then her hat and various feathers. She also has a lily in her hand (I see what you mean, it isn't clear in this pic....). Where stems of flowers came adrift (oops a few did!) I hand piped a replacement!
Did you do the figure with the table top and the black background all together? Then put that on the cake near the "floor" with spacers and then finish off all the detail? Do you have a view of the top from the top?
Everything on this cake is outstanding! Your collar is wonderful. I have made afew and they are a pain! Wish I could see the top better as it looks to be amazing as well.
