Laura Loukaides Cakes

I’m often inspired by

alternative styles of wedding

dresses and couture gowns

when sketching wedding

cakes. I especially admire

those which feature elements

of black and gold; it’s a colour

scheme I always really enjoy

working with!

Step 1.

Roll uneven tapered ropes, flatten slightly and apply on the cake as

shown using edible glue.

Step 2.

Brush the ropes and top edge where the dress will sit with edible glue

and cover with a layer of black fondant. Texture lightly using a scrunched

piece of aluminium foil.

Step 3.

Using edible gold paint, roughly stencil flowers over the bottom half of the

dress using the Claire Bowman Sophia flower stencils. After adding the

flowers, dip a fluffy brush into edible gold paint and buff off most of the

excess. Very lightly dab the brush over the remaining areas of the dress.
