This is a fondant cake with fondant ruffles up the cake I created the ruffles by cutting small strips
And using the end of my paint brush I rolled it to make it super thin them I made a paper fan kind of I tried to add as many as possible emediatly so I wouldn have any problems wit it sticking but eventually I got tired and took a nap and when I can me bac I did exsperience some proves wit it sticking so used corn syrup and toothpick to hold it in place till lit dried the pearls I used water and luster dust they didn’t turn out. The way I wanted them cuz luster dust is new to me and I still don’t kno how to use it correctly I also tried to add luster dust to the fondant that covers the cake but it wasn’t as shimmery as I wanted it f
So I anyone has any suggestions on how to work wit luster dust plz giver some pointers and comment
