Charmaine thank you very much for the kind words.

Patricia, this technique is called cornelli lace.  It is not that difficult to do.  When I am going to cover a cake like this I do the lace before I add the shell border.  Using thinned icing and a tip #1 or #2  just pipe a freehand string of icing as you move the tip making curvy lines without touching or crossing over itself in a random pattern.  Holding the bag at a 90 degree angle try to pipe the lines without scraping the cake.  I am not sure if this is the "proper" way to do this technique but it has always worked well for me. Good luck and let me know how it turns out.

Love this cake... How do you do that design? I see it on alot of cakes. I am wanting to try it, but think mine will come out looking like scribbles.
