I’ve been through this ruffle mania so I understand the time and patience it take! LOL!
How did you manage to keep the ruffles so cornstarch/icing sugar free? Or did you clean up at the end with something?

The ruffles on the lowest tier are fondant. I used about 4-inch (about 1/2″ wide) strips of fondant, ruffled one edge with a ball tool, folded and rolled it into a carnationish looking piece and then set it in place on the cake. Repeat for roughly 7 hours for an 8″ round! 🙂 I have done a similar style with buttercream and using a petal tip but I really wanted a more delicate look for this cake.

This fourth cake is another gorgeous piece of art! Love the muted colors, I knew right away what they portraid. Also love the texture change w the blue ruffles. May I ask, are they also fondant or was this a piping technique?

Thanks again, I hope you will do another serious like this soon!
Beth 🙂
