There are lots of different mediums to create your cake but for an elegant wedding cake that has that WOW factor its best to use fondant to create a show stopper wedding cake.
Fondant is great at adding extra details, you can see from the photo that the couple opted to add sugar ruffles to their bottom tier and a quilting pattern to the tier above.
Royal icing is less popular now as a cake covering but its great at adding details such as initials or a piped lace design.
The addition of handmade sugar flowers in your choice of colours and arrangement are a great way to finish off a cake.
