NURIA MORAGREGA

Cake Mistress

Inspired by 1950s Hollywood

glamour and Marilyn Monroe’s

iconic image in 1954 where

she was caught by wind

blowing up from a subway, I

wanted to create something

with movement. The dress

has a contrasting underside

and I used quilling to create a

pleated underskirt.

Step 1.

Roll out thin layers of black and white gum paste. Lay the black layer on

top of the white, roll with a rolling pin and lightly texture so they stick

together. Add very little water between the layers if necessary. Cut to

shape and arrange on the cake using pieces of rolled kitchen paper to

support. Allow to dry completely.

Step 2.

Cut thin strips of white wafer paper and arrange at the base of the dress.

Apply with very little piping gel.

Step 3.

Once the dress is dry, remove the kitchen paper and apply various sized

silver dragees around the cake as shown.
