my first tiered cake

Cake by jiffy0127 posted 266 days ago 300 views 2 times favorited 4 comments Add to Favorites

This was my first “tiered” cake. The bottom portion was based on a design I saw on someone’s facebook page. . .now I can’t find it to give them credit for the idea. If anyone recognizes the “idea” please tell me who it came from so that they can receive credit for it (the original was done in oranges and yellows I believe).

The tip I used for the petal effect was a 12. If you haven’t seen a tutorial, you put a #12 dot on the cake and then pull your spatula through 3/4 of the dot, “smearing” it to one side. Then you do another dot just at the spot that the “smear” starts to fade out. It’s really easy. . .but a little time consuming – especially when you’re changing colors with the rows.

Elilovescakes, if you look at my teal ombre petal cake with peony, you will see a better picture maybe of the petal effect. :)

Have your say...
