Trends in Fondant Wedding Cakes

One of the fun new trends in Wedding Cakes is to use an aspect of the Bride's dress as a focal point in the cake. For this cake the bride had an antique, chain embroidered bodice with exquisite french knots. So I icing embroidered the cake.
Each line was a series of tiny icing loops, accented with icing french knots. This picture is a great detail shot of the embroidery. And the perfect white of the royal icing stands out beautifully against the creamy fondant base.
It was a lot of work, but very fun, and I love getting the opportunity to be creative. And wedding cakes are a great venue. After all, have you ever made a french knot out of icing? Look carefully at these embroidered fondant wedding cake pictures and see if you can figure it out.
