This is my contribution to the Cakes Inspired by Viktor & Rolf Fashion collaboration
inspired by Viktor & Rolf fashion and published in Cake Craft Guide Wedding Cakes and Sugar Flowers, August issue 28. A special thank you to Gulnaz Mitchell for coordinating a beautiful collaboration and Melanie Underwood for her valuable assistance.
My piece was inspired by one of tulle designs from the Spring/summer 2010 Viktor & Rolf collection. I loved the stark contrast in colors with the softness of the tulle trim. There are over 100 wafer paper strips treated with a gelatin mix to create the ruffles to represent the tulle. Edible black lace was used for additional texture on the extended tier as well as the center of the fantasy flower.
