BAKING PROJECT

I see a lot of purple wedding theme nowadays.. personally it’s not my favourite colour. I like yellow, and my house is mostly painted in yellow.. Anyway, I thought I’d decorate a purple and white cake today. It’s a common design. I just added the yellow fringe and dragees. Flowers are, as usual, store-bought .

I used wooden dowel rods to make the pleat. The technique is similar to making swags. There’s an excellent tutorial on how to make swag at cakecentral.com. If you have the right patchwork cutter, it would be easier to make the diamond side design. I don’t have any, so I just measure with my ruler. Make a 1 inch square and mark the ends with a needle. Then I use my steel ruler to score the lines (the primitive way, I must say.. ). The yellow fringe is done with my most precious equipment, the clay extruder. (check out my earlier post under ‘my gadget’).

I think I have given away all my secrets.. till then, take care.
