Subtle Sophistication

From the Beverley Way Collection portfolio …..

Three tiered stacked fondant covered cake. Side extensions are pastillage with teardrop cutouts and royal icing bead detail. Teardrop cutouts effectively allow light to pass through producing shadows. This beauty will transport well stacked and decorated as shown if placed on a very strong wooden display board for transportation. Pattern 23D www.BeverleyWayCollection.com. Enjoy!

Thank you everyone. Working with pastillage is much like working with fondant … BUT … since it doesn’t have glycerine in it to attract the moisture, you have to faithfully plan what you are going to do with it before you begin working with it. You cannot break your focus when working with it. Fondant allows itself to be reworked – pastillage does not – it begins crusting very quickly.
The above design can also be created using simple royal icing floodwork if you aren’t comfortable or familiar with the properties of pastillage. In fact, for alot of structural icing work, royal icing and pastillage can be interchanged :)
