re: 1st communion cake

I am going to use this same technique I did on the girl in an upcoming cake so I will gladly do a tutorial on it then. For now all you do is get the picture you are going to use, for me it was the little girl and I show a picture of it in my album. Copy it out on paper twice, cut one out of the full body you are going to use then with the other I cut out every piece of each different color …so basically I just made templates or patterns like you would if you were sewing a dress from scratch, hope that makes sense. I made the first piece the one full template of very thin gumpaste then when I cut out my individual pieces I then positioned and stuck them on that so just like putting a jigsaw pieces together, you know the baby style ones that come with a board and you place the pieces on top. It is really quite super easy and really did a good job getting me the exact replica of the invitation. Once it was pretty dry I turned it over and attached a scewer on the back with another piece of gumpaste. I hope this helped a little and if you have any more questions Raika I would be happy to answer them.
