I made this cake for a contest. The top tier is covered in fondant using the two piece technique. The marbeling on that top tier is hand painted. On the second tier from the top I used a bass relief technique, placing little parts one by one. Then I painted it in gold. The center tier I marbled the fondant and I placed in a one piece technique. The one before last tier I covered with gold leaf and applied the same sugar lace than on the bottom tier.

I made hand crafted sugar roses, dahlias, peonies, hydrangeas, ranunculos, freesias, cosmos and greenery.

The base of the cake is also covered with fondant and on the edge I made the same bass relief technique.
