Preface


Section Introduction to

Materials and Techniques


The motifs shown here are mainly made from fondant, although the designs also lend themselves to other materials such as royal icing or chocolate modeling paste. Every cake will be a unique creation composed by you.

Each page describes how to make the motif and gives hints on where to mix and match the design to complete a unique cake top. The cakes can be coated with the covering of your choice -- be it royal icing, buttercream, chocolate ganache or fondant. Go to the pattern selector on pages 50-61 to make your choice.

With few exceptions, the designs can be prepared off the cake and then placed in position once the cake has been covered. Motif sizes can easily be adjusted to fit a variety of cake sizes and shapes, according to your choice.

Section Introduction to

Design Directory


All the design motifs are shown over the next few pages, so that you can select those appropriate to your cake and then move on to the instructions given for the motif of your choice. Make the motif templates larger or smaller, depending on the size of your cake (see Make a template, page 38-39).
