Maria, I think Maggie Austin cakes is the one who actually is well known for this technique. Here is a link to her site.http://maggieaustincake.com/
I have done it as a practice cake and also have a wedding cake coming up in September that I am using this technique. That is why I made the practice cake, so that I would be ready in September. I didn't think it was hard. But it was time consuming. As always, I just experimented trying to get 'the look', so what I did may not be the way it is supposed to be done. I cut thin strips from fondant and used the ball tool to thin out one side and as I did it, it made it kind of ruffle. Covered the cake with fondant first, and then started adding my strips starting at the top to bottom. Use toothpicks to hold the frills up as you go, and because they are thin strips, they dry pretty fast. You can see my tiny practice cake in my gallery.

Those roses are awesome. I can smell them from here. I don't know how to do the roses but I can make an easy suggestion for leaves. I simply copy mine on PhotoFrost paper and in a moment I have leaves. I wish roses were that simple too. Best wishes on your project and thanks for sharing.

Stephanie, I wouldn't feel right about taking another person's technique and botching it up on a video. Maggie Austin Cakes can be found on face book and you can click her like button and receive her posts. I'm pretty sure she has something on there that would explain how she did it. I appreciate that you actually think I could make a video, though. To me it's almost laughable, since it has just been in the last year that I have broadened my horizons with cake decorating. For the longest time I lived in my little world of butter cream and was too intimidated to try anything else, like fondant, gum paste, modeling chocolate, or anything else. I'm getting too old, now, and need to live before I croak! lol! So I'm teaching myself as much as I can learn before it's too late.

Hi Maria
I "googled" HOW TO DO A FONDANT FRILL ON CAKE.....and Bam... the You Tube came up with .....How I did Debbie Brown's sugar plum fairy with garret frill cutter. First time it showed it was on cakeswebake. Didn't do that the 2nd time???
Anyway, google what I typed above in capital letters. I watched it, and I have already done 3 rows on a dummy cake for practice. Pretty easy, just time consuming.
Hope this helps Maria.

Thank you very much Linda your informations are very useful to me, I will try too this tecnique in the way you say, I think it is a good way. I sow your gallery and I have no world, I take some ispirations, i am just a begginner but I have many passion. Unfortunately now in Italy there is terrible heat, we are on 37° , yesterday I covered a cake with sugarpaste and it was terrible, it was too much sticky. Do you have the same problem
in ester? For practis this tecnique I must wait September. Thank you Lindamaria Cristina from Italy

Hy Linda, this morning I wake up thinking about frilly Cakes, so I made an experiment with a dummy 13 cm.
I used modelling paste (50% sugarpaste and 50% gum paste), it was not difficult but it takes 3 hours, please can you check up in my photo gallery? it is too much time? I can't think at a wedding cake with this tecnique, many many hours. Next time I will try with strips more straight.
Thank you also for friendship.

Denise, when I did my tiny practice cake, it took a long time, so allow ample time to do it! I know having toothpicks is a must to keep it from sagging.
