Birthday Cake: Ballerina Cake - August 2008

This fondant birthday cake was made together with my friend Christine for her daughter's birthday that was celebrated today. The two-layer chocolate and vanilla marble cakes were covered with fondant and the ballerina shoes were laid on top of the table-cloth. This involved a total no. of eight hours and we started the work on late saturday evening.
The cake decoration came out well but unfortunately, the fondant ballerina girl which i made could not be painted very well with silver and it left a very smudged look..can anybody help me on how to paint fondant with silver ? I have had no problems with gold earlier !
Surely, the path of sugarcraft is interesting and you face unknown challenges but i will keep on trying !
I wish you all a very HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY ! It's a lifetime treasure.

  3. I love the bow and draped ribbon - beautiful.
    Very clever idea to put the candles on the lower tier, rather than the top - it looks very striking. I think I shall steal this idea!!!!
