Fashion-Inspired Wedding Cakes


What makes a wedding gown special? Extraordinary embellishments, of course. Here, desserts get adorned with fabulous flounces, beautiful beading, and more. Playing dress-up just got delicious.
A David Fielden gown served as the inspiration for this cake.
The net-and-bead fabric displayed as a tablecloth served as the model for this cake. The four tiers were covered in seafoam-green rolled fondant, then decorated with "reeds" made out of hand-piped royal icing; the beaded icing "leaves" on each stem were painted with luster dust to add shine. 
To create this dazzling design with a glittering trim, Kromer used a scallop cutter to shape bands out of gum paste. Then she piped the edges with royal icing and sprinkled them with gold-colored sanding sugar and 10-karat-gold twinkle dust (available at fine cake-supply stores).
