We love this floral wedding cake idea so much, and could see it being replicated on even bigger (or smaller!) cakes alike. Adding ruffle texture using icing is such a great small wedding cake idea, and we love this one by Pearls and Crumbs. Marshmallow fondant doesn't have that many ingredients. Marshmallows provide the main structure. Marshmallows contain mostly sugar and gelatin. A little bit of vegetable shortening helps the fondant from drying out. The best part is that LMF works best when you use really cheap marshmallows which brings the price per batch down even further. Does Fondant Really Taste Bad? Interior design fanatics will be familiar with the term maximalism - the art of 'more is more' - and we love seeing this embraced as a small wedding cake idea. Having just two small tiers gives you the opportunity to go bright and bold, clashing prints, colours and designs on each one to achieve an eye-catching wedding cake design. While it is important that a wedding cake appeals to the visual senses, it’s (arguably) even more important that it tastes good.
When you've never seen anything like it before, you know it's a wedding cake idea - and that's exactly the case with this gorgeous design from The Orchid Kitchen. The intricate lace fondant has been perfectly placed, and we love the texture that's been created. I would add that on buttercream cakes the options without alcohol don’t go on as well. For large areas they tend to separate slightly not giving a solid colour. Pre-mixed edible paint From cold to hot, we love Beez Cakes take on a summery rustic wedding cake design. The fresh, colourful petals scattered over the buttercream are really artistically placed, and we love the way it transcends into a full cascade of fresh summer flowers. The size of your cake may impact the design you have, but as you've seen from all of our small wedding cake ideas, whether you go big or little, you can still have a wedding cake design that's memorable and amazing. 2. Consider Your ThemeOne of the coolest things that ever came from my LMF recipe has probably been DKF (Danettes Kosher Fondant). My friend Danette can't eat gelatin so she devised a fondant recipe that is just as easy to make as LMF but uses marshmallow fluff instead of cheap marshmallows. It works just as well and is kosher! Tips The detail is so realistic and the way it's presented on a tall cement-like stand makes it look even more like a work of art. We're kind of obsessed, and would love to see this embraced in a museum wedding venue or somewhere suitably quirky. Marbled icing makes for such gorgeous wedding cake designs, and we love the fact that this one by Cake Buds has been created in peach and orange instead of super muted tones. If you're looking for an elegant wedding cake idea for a modern theme, this one could be for you. Condition your fondant before you use it. Unless you just made it, then always warm your fondant and knead it well until it's nice and stretchy. Cold fondant likes to tear. How gorgeous is the rich, bold colour of this four tier wedding cake from Deluce Cakes. Though the icing is perfectly finished, and the fondant florals are impeccably made, the unequal sizing of the tiers and bright colour gives this design a slight edge that we just love.
This creates a subtle shimmer and is perfect for covering larger areas or creating an all-over gold effect. Mixing: Top tip: Snow Drift can be added to coloured cocoa butter to lighten the colour and make it opaque. Working with edible gold leaf is demanding. The effects are quite stunning, but achieving them requires steady hands, patience and a lot of practice and as the gold leaf is not cheap, this can be a costly technique to master. It can be easiest to start by using gold flake, which comes in a shaker, and mastering its use as a topping for cakes or an ingredient in them. Bear in mind that if you cook with gold flake, it’s a superb conductor of heat (it’s simply very fine quality gold, mixed with silver) so you may find that you have to adjust baking times downwards a few minutes to compensate for the gold in your recipe.
