Great job!

[TMFloralDesigns]

Amy, I know you pointed out your mistakes but the cake (wedding) is absolutely gorgeous! You did a magnificent job. We all make mistakes and as you work more with this you will perfect your technique. You did way better than I ever could!!! I have never decorated a cake before and I love to see them all done up. I do, however, work with flowers and just did a 3 tier flowing floral arrangement on my nieces wedding cake..I am proud of that and that is as far as I have gotten on decorating! :)

@TMFloralDesigns Thanks so much for the encouragement..... its a contineous learning i guess :)

This is beautiful!! how much did this cake cost?? I make fondant cake but I have no idea how to charge!!

[morekitchenfun]

@aerodiana1988

If you make your own MMF it will help keep your costs down.

You could consider charging 2 times the cost of ingredients...

But, If you buy your fondant you have already paid the 50% mark up.

How did you stack the cake? Did it cave in after a while because of the weight?

[aMyDiCkASoN]

Hi! I dont know the count of the pearl i used on this cake, the container I bought probably have 1000 or more pearls in it and I only used less than half of it :)

[LaNenaB7]

Hi I love the cake you did. Im also a beginner I just have one question. How many pearls did you use for the quilted pattern?

[012tanja]

Can anybody halp me? How can I put branch of gum paste roses on the wedding cake?

[sruhtra24]

Please respond! I am making a cake this coming week for my Aunt. Did you follow a tutorial for the roses?

[aMyDiCkASoN]

Hi! I learned how to do that rose using Wilton book....it comes together with the cutters I bought... you could also search on tutorials here on youtube how to make roses. it will help a lot :)

[bsjo31]

It is VERY cute. I love it.

[rislam10]

Absolutely stunning cake. Very good job. May I ask how much did it cost u to make a 3 tier cake ?( I mean all the flower, egg and fondant ) not the inedible part.

[aMyDiCkASoN]

HI Thanks for the compliment. I spent over $200 for the edible part of this cake.:)

[TaPetiteSoeur]

OMG It's GORGEOUS!

[CuteeBeauty]

Hi...do you use airbrush on your cake and if you don't mind me asking what brand of airbrush?..thanks btw love this cake =)

[aMyDiCkASoN]

@CuteeBeauty HI! I didnt use airbrush on this cake. I used ivory colored fondant and brush it with luster dust to achieve that shimmery effect. I dont have airbrush unit so I dont know which one works best, I know Global Sugar Art and other website sell those, just look around. :)

[SEYI2408]

lovely cake, how did you get shine on  the fondant.

[aMyDiCkASoN]

Thanks!! you can achieve the "shimmer" by brushing edible luster dust on your cake which you can buy at any Wilton outlet.

[lauraj777]

how did you ge tthe quilt pattern? i am not a very beginner I have done 2 fondant cakes but i am still kinda new @ techniques.

[aMyDiCkASoN]

Hi! I did the quilt pattern manually, i just used a ruler to make the slanted line and used small roller to outline it. You can actually buy an impression mat with a quilt pattern @ Global Sugar Art if you dont want to go to all those hassles ;) Hope that helped. :)

Amy, I have no idea why I missed this awesome cake.

I think this cake looks really fabulous and very elegant! I love the flowers a lot! I also think the flow of the flowers are very balanced and nicely put together. I also love the texture on the drapery and the quilt effect on the fondant tiers.

Overall, I think this cake is very well though of and everything works together.

I'd love to see more videos from you--it's been a while now huh?

[aMyDiCkASoN]

Hey Rylan, thanks a lot! My friend really loved it and was impressed I should say... (cant believe i was able to make it either..lol) Anyway, i know its been a while.. im just so busy that I dont even have the time to post some of the other cakes i did... i owe you guys one... I promise to find the time soon! MISS YOU ALL!

[dantwaz]

[GABBYSHAPPYMOM]

oHHH this is just too  fantastic!

[aMyDiCkASoN]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment guys!

[nivia91]

Wow! I cannot believe it is your 6th fondant cake. What can I do to be as good as you :(

I would love to learn how to make a the bouquet. Do you know where I could find instructions?

Amazing job! I am sure the bride will be thrilled :)

[aMyDiCkASoN]

Thanks again Nivia. You're such a darling! You are already good! Your cakes are just amazing! In making the bouquet, i havent seen any tutorial in doing that. I actually just looked at edible flower bouquet online and I got the ideas from there. It's easy once you already pre-made all the flowers needed. I used calla lilly, rose, rose buds, stephanotis & flower bud on that cake and did the arrangement when the cake was already up to make sure its the size that I want. Hope that helps. :)

[nivia91]

Thank you :) I will give it a try and see how they turn out :) Take care

[PrincessDaisy94]

very nice

[aMyDiCkASoN]

thanks so much!
