This cake is inspired by ballerinas. Tier one represents an elegant airy tutu with lots of pale pink girly ruffles which then makes way to 3 more tiers that feature ornate gilded scrolls made from gum paste, a bit like the scroll work one would see at the royal opera house where ballets are performed. The ballerina topper is also made from gumpaste and non toxic gold glitter…not sure if its called edible glitter any more. I took indoor and out door shots and couldnt decide which looked better so i decided to post the lot.

Oh my word, that is amazing, your gold scroll work is simply gorgeous, very fitting with any Royal Ballet lol. Beautiful cake.

Wow, beautiful! Can imagine just how long the ruffles alone must have taken!

Thank you all for your lovely comments, first time trying this type of ruffle – think i need to invest in a ribbon cutter to get them more even next time, theyre a bit all over the place.
