So what I really want is a three tier yellow buttercream cake with blue ribbon around the bottom of each tier. (my colors are obviously blue and yellow, lol) I'm a pretty simple bride.
But, my sister is offering to make my cake for free, and she does really great fondant cakes, but doesn't want to do buttercream. (which it's great she's going to do it for free, I'm on a teeny tiny budget!) She was going to take a cake decorating class, but can't find a sitter for her son so she can take the class (she lives in a different state, or I wouldn't even hesitate to offer).
I saw this cake in ( I think) The Knot magazine that I thought was kind of cool, but I still would prefer the buttercream. It looks like it has cut out fondant over the buttercream, so you get less fondant.
I'm doing bird elements in my wedding (not all out, though) and was thinking maybe we could find a bird shaped cutter and use that to cut holes in the fondant.
The problem is, is that I can't find anymore pictures of it. I took this picture with my phone out of the magazine months ago and I can't find it anywhere. I've searched "cutout fondant on cake", "cut holes in fondant and put on cake" and more and I can't find anything like it. Does anyone have any ideas?
