I am not going to do fondant. I can't stand the taste of it.<br /> @Mae: @T.H.O.U.: So it is a good thing I am going to do a trial run. I found a recipe I am going to try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-done-icing-like-this#post-1378048 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 09:40:25 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1378048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yea I have heard the right icing is the key. Good luck, you should be able to do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-done-icing-like-this#post-1378032 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 09:35:50 +0000 Mae 1378032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done the top one. It is not really hard at all, you just need the correct tip. you just squiggle it back and forth. I think I found a youtube video to show me but this was my first try and turned out well I think. The most important thing will be using the correct kind of icing for it to look right. I used Swiss Merengue Buttercream which is both gorgeous and delicious. But it is sort of a PITA to make and you definitely need a stand mixer. </p> [attach=4140/14/n02dvr.600x445.Screen-Shot-2014-01-27-at-9.34.35-AM.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-done-icing-like-this#post-1378014 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 09:27:05 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1378014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The lower one would be easy-- looks like just cutting some fondant?</p> <p>The top one would be medium-- it's just a big ribbon tip looped back and forth... if you like the look of that one better, just try once and see how it goes. It wouldn't be hard-- I think the hardest part would be making sure they were all the same width-- like you'd need to plan out how many "sections" would go around the cake. </p> <p>Both cakes are really cute! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-done-icing-like-this#post-1377998 Mon, 27 Jan 2014 09:22:22 +0000 Smurfette 1377998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is this hard? I took a cake decorating class years ago, but it was all simple stuff. And who knows if I remember anything. </p> <p>Want something cute for R's cake. Going to do some stars on the top, something like one of these two.</p> <p>[attach=1508/14/n02d9a.400x600.018441b3979d1ebaa873ff860e794eb3.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=1508/14/n02d9c.400x600.1c44305f71a3858d09f25f3cce6c24a9.jpg] </p>
