This two tier cake is chocolate and vanilla with buttercream, covered in marshmallow fondant. The skulls are hand painted fondant. The flowers are a mix of fondant and gumpaste. The lace is hand piped with royal icing. To achieve the dark black color on the roses and hat, I painted them with black food coloring after drying. Parts of the cake are also brushed with bronze luster dust.

ReplyDeleteHello Sarah my best friend has asked me to recreate your wedding cake for her. What template did u use for the skull please as having trouble finding a similar one many thanks
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I didn't save my reference photos. I used a few different photos for ideas and then hand painted the skulls on fondant.
DeleteIf I were to want this cake shipped can u do that and in purple vs red?
ReplyDeleteIf I wanted this cake shipped how long would it take to get here and how much would it cost? Im getting married and would love to have this as my wedding cake.
ReplyDeleteThank you in advance.
Are the roses made with fondant, wafers, paper or something else? Love the dark red!
ReplyDeleteThe roses were made with a fondant/gumpaste mixture and painted with food coloring after they dried to achieve the deeper red.
