Description
This was the cake I made and decorated for my own birthday - how sad am I?? LolIts was fun to do and a great achievement as I covered it using regal icing (the kind you roll out) - I had only recently learned how to do this on my cake course and was so happy when it turned out all smooth
The flowers and leaves were cut using plungers and I coloured all the icing myself - the powdery details were just edible dust!
It tasted good as well

Really gorgeous and elegant work, I love this cake. And no, I don't think you're sad at all! I made one on my birthday too (although it was more along the indulgent than impressive line) 
The graduation of colours using edible dust blend in very well - I was going to ask how you achieved the effect before I read your comment. A tip I will duly note and use in the future. The vines are lovely in their twisty fashion, giving a nice spread over the cake.
I suppose the only thing I would criticise is the purple dust patches in the background - they could perhaps have done with a little definition outlining their edges with silver (or another such complimenting colour). Not right to their edges, but with just to outline the shapes they form.
Otherwise, bravo!

They might be slow coming - I've mostly been lurking on here, used to come on everyday then just stopped I guess
Thanks for the watch anyway! I might put a few of my recent cakes on here later

Please do suggest some cake decorating books - we don't have any.

LOL, I did have to go and check what it was about, but I do remember the cake.

Beautiful. Gorgeous colors. (I'm a purple girl!) Are the leaves from molds? They remind me very much of ones I used to have for sculpy.
I always admire these and don't think i could bring myself to eat them! That's why I only make min clay ones sometimes, no one nibbles all your hard work!

They are kind of - they are plungers that cut then you press and it veins them at the same time
Thank you lol, I love watching my cakes getting eaten it's satisfying to know that they are enjoyed both visually and ...digestfully? o_O

Regal icing? Ah! I'm not used to reading/hearing it like that! We call it Fondant in the states. Although, it seems to be dying out. I can't find it anywhere!
You did a wonderful job with this. It makes for good practice too!
Did you use an airbrush or just a light dusting of color?
๐: 0 โฉ: 2
Yeah it comes in blocks, sugarpaste is the more common name for it - I think Regal icing itself might be a brand... not sure 
Thank you! I take any chance to practice
I would LOVE an airbrush set - this was just edible powder brushed on - I made the purple from a pink and blue powder I had (as you can't seem to get purple in the shops!)

It's usually only found in cake supply shops and restaurant suppliers But there's a lot of good places to buy on the net.

I'm curious where you took the course. I also dapple in cake decorating. Although I've never really worked with gumpaste. And I'm not fond of fondant since it's not really edible.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
The course was with a local college in the UK
Fondant is edible :S its gumpaste that goes really hard - maybe its the opposite in America?
