Once again I feel so very blessed to be asked by cake central to do another cake for their wonderful magazine. With only 7 short days to get it done and not really feeling the dress I tell ya I was struggling. But I had an idea to try something new with wafer paper and although it is nothing wild and crazy I love that it shows how versatile wafer paper can be.

I brush embroidered the cake and 2 pieces of wafer paper that I had cut to the size I wanted first, also this was the first time I have ever used the brush embroidery technique. Then I attached the wafer paper to the cake. I also cut out small flowers of wafer paper with a punch and submerged them in water then layed them over a little girls flower hair clip that I had, yes you read that right a hair clip, lol. When the flowers dried they were then in the shape of the flower with all the grooves and such which added a lovely 3D effect to the cake which matched the fabric on the dress. I also cut tiny little leaves and added them bit of the fine for some more effect and depth to the cake.

As some of you know I never get asked for flowers so these were a little challenging and for the life of me I could not get the color to match. I was not sure about the crown but am so glad I did decide to do it and it was a nice learning experience. I am so grateful for these magazine opportunities as they really let me do the type of cakes I would like to be producing. But until I have customers that want them then they will just have to stay in my head till the next magazine or collab come along, lol.

Big hugs xoxoxoxo
