Whimsical Wedding CakesThe Dr. Seuss cake to the right also known as a topsy turvy cake, is a fun whimsical wedding cake. With these odd shaped cakes it is challenging to wrap the fondant without creasing or tearing.The secret is practice and patience... This was my first topsy turvy cake. I admit I was a nervous wreck while doing this. :-) You could design this cake with normal tiers and it would still be very interesting. VideosBelow is a video I made recently of a belly dance birthday cake inspired by Margaret Braun's "Cake Walk" which is filled with recipes and tutorials. Watch it to the end to see the little girls dancing with veils. They are my little students. (I teach bellydance to adults and children, which explains my fascination with this type of design.)

Fondant Cake Decorating - Painting on Fondant
Prize Winning CakeI won First Place and Directors Award at the "Connecticut Chef's Association" cake decorating contest with my Middle Eastern inspired design.I used fondant draping, and silver and gold petal dust to paint onto the cake surface, as well as real gold leaf on the coins. Silver dragees were used as beads encrusted into the fondant. The tabs with coins made of fondant are traditionally part of a belly dance over-skirt decoration. Ropes made of sugar paste (as it is also sometimes called) are so easy and effective. Royal icing drop strings on the edge of the top tier, and the base with fondant roses on top are the finishing touches. Here are two recipes for royal icing. Fondant Cake Decorating Combined With Royal Icing
If it's your first time using fondant this is a great choice of cake decorating designs. The reason is that most of the cake is covered in Cornelli lace. With loads of fresh roses and greenery, you can cover up any mishaps, such as small cracks or creases.
If you practice en-robing you won't have to cover up so much. I am here to tell you that there is always a better side to a cake. So please don't shy away from giving fondant cake decorating a try. This cake is one of my earlier ones...
Cake Decorating Fondant Plus Little Blue Fondant Flowers and Royal Icing Snowflakes
The snowflake wedding cake is the ultimate for a winter wedding. Again it is simply covered with fondant. Blue ribbon was used as a border and little blue flowers were made ahead of sugar paste and then painted with petal dust. The snowflakes are made with royal icing and then dried overnight. They are very delicate so you will need to make extra just in case. Having done several of these snowflake wedding cakes, this one is a favorite because of the touch of blue. By using ribbon for borders and little cut out flowers, you can simplify a cake and make your own wedding cake.
Another Example Of A Whimsical Wedding Cake
The bride made her own wedding cake topper, out of pipe cleaners no less.
Anything goes! Whatever your hearts desire it can be used in today's cake decorating designs. Pink, yellow, blue and green colored fondant make up each tier. The ruffle is tulle edged with royal icing and the cake border is fondant balls. Daisies are cut with a fondant cutter. Cornelli lace of royal icing is piped onto the two of the tiers.
Cake Decorating With Fondant, Royal Icing Strings and Ribbons.
The combination of fondant and royal icing has a nice effect. This elegant cake is covered in rolled fondant then royal icing is used to pipe the borders strings and ribbons. The ribbons are made ahead and dried, then placed on the cake with a dab of royal icing. Little silver dragees are a part of the design and echo the Dotted Swiss feeling on the bottom tier.
