Wedding Cake Instructions for Lace Fantasy

Everything you need to create beautiful wedding cakes. Each style has been designed for fast and easy decorating while offering tasteful elegance.

Before you start:
Using your favorite recipes bake, fill and assemble one 12-inch, one 10-inch and one 6-inch cake.

1)    Using white frosting ice all the cakes.

2)    Mark each cake for scallops. A simple consistent method to mark cakes for scallops is to use a paper or Styrofoam cup. Cups come in many sizes and diameters. Study the cups you have available. You may find several sizes that make perfect scallops for each size cake you are marking. Cut the cup in half and press the lip of the cup gently against the icing. The indentation is a guide to pipe your scallops over.

Mark 6 scallops for the 6-inch cake.
Mark 8 scallops for the 10-inch cake.
Mark 12 scallops for the 12-inch cake.
Please refer to marking a cake for scallops for additional details.

3)    Using pastry tip #87 pipe a ruffle on the scallops impressions.

4)    Using pastry tip #104 pipe a ruffle bottom border on all cakes.

5)    Using pastry tip #7 pipe a bead design over the ruffle bottom borders.

6)    Using pastry tip #4 pipe a Sotas design (lace design) over the surface of each cake and on the inside of the scallops.
