I have made cakes for everyone in the Albrechtsen family, some I've even made two for, except Lindsay! Well, I had to rectify the situation in a big way, so I made something FABULOUS!
The feathers were from Marissa's 18th birthday cake. (Her older sister)
I had been wanting to try this ruffle/tutu technique, and Lindsay is a dancer, so who better?
The ruffles are made with TONS of circles, ruffled around the edges, and folded in to a "clump" kind of like a carnation. Then, they are stuck to the side of the cake with gum glue, and crammed in to make the ruffles look full, and keep them from drooping. It is a tedious task, but very simple.
The top tier is a damask done with the Marvelous Molds silicone mats.
I think the result was worth it, and I think Lindsay did, too!
