The plaque
on the left can be used right on the cake. The side design on the
cake to the right can also be used on a cake with any baby theme such as
a cake that would have the pictured plaque. The border is designed
to coordinate with the blanket pictured on the plaque and on the cake.
Make a coil
(3/4 the circumference of the cake) of gum paste that has rolled fondant
worked into it. Place a textured, rubber mat on the coil and your
roller on the mat and roll out the gum paste to make it longer and wider.
The end result, should be the circumference of the cake. Cut the
flattened coil to an even width. Make the ruffle using a foot tool.
Use a needle-like, pointed tool to make the stitches around the inner edge
of the ruffle (not the outer edge). Place the blanket border with
ruffle on your cake board that has been covered with white foil; and at
the edge where the blanket border touches the bottom of the rolled fondant
covered cake, place the tip of the foot tool and press downward so that
the edge comes close to the bottom of the cake and fits secure all around
the cake. Cut the ends of the blanket and fit them together.
(This should be the front of your cake.) 8. Use the Klay Gun
and make the strip that will be place upright at the bottom of the cake
(see picture, above). Use a flat edged tool and make the ridges as
shown in the picture, above. Glue in place on the cake. Add
the bow where the ends of the blanket ruffle meet to cover nicely the "cut"
between the ends.
Note:
The tools to make the "Popup Flowers" on the plaque are K20, K21& A3R. |
