lace cake

I was inspired to make this cake after seeing Nadia's cakes here on CWB. Mine isn't even close to how beautiful hers are, but at least I gave it my best shot and found that it isn't as hard as I thought! I just need practice on my string work, and need to go down to a smaller tip. Here is a side view. It was a fun cake to make! Thank you Nadia!!

Comment by Linda Wolff on October 24, 2012 at 9:15am: This was a fun cake to do. I covered the cake in black fondant, then cut out my designs from white fondant with different shapes like a daisy cookie cutter, and then using a smaller cutter, cut out the center of the shape. I used a decorator's icing tip for the small circles, and a flower petal cutter for the tear drop shape. Fit them all onto the cake in whatever design you decide, and then go back over the cake with royal icing using a round tip (I should have used a smaller tip) to outline the edges of the fondant. Nadia has several cakes that are outstanding in this technique.

Comment by Mandy Nel on October 24, 2012 at 8:26am: This is just as great! Do you do the royal icing on the actual cake or not? really great :-)

Comment by Tus Dulces Ideas on November 10, 2011 at 2:47pm: ty so much, now I need to try this technique.... absolutly love it!!! and thanks for the smaller tip advice but even what you said that wasnt perfect, im think your work is wonderfull, very pretty. keep doing such a great work :)

Comment by Linda Wolff on November 9, 2011 at 9:17pm: It is. I made the cut-outs with fondant and placed them onto the cake, then went back and did the string work. (Not very well, I might add) You can't see the intersecting lines where each cut-out meets because I covered each intersection with the royal icing. When and if I make this again, I will use a smaller tip (#1 round tip) and try to do cleaner work. Thank you for your kind words.

Comment by Linda Wolff on November 8, 2011 at 12:30pm: Thank you Jan! I really need to try this again and see if I can't clean up my string work. It was really a fun cake to make.
