The second part of our Ruffle Wedding Cakes series focuses on fondant frills, a design that has soared in popularity largely due to the exquisite designs created by acclaimed US designer, Maggie Austin.

Fondant frills come in many different styles but it is Maggie’s super frilly, delicate designs that are top of bride’s lists right now.

The exquisite example above showcases exactly what makes this design so sought after – delicate, romantic frills enhances with tiny frilled blossoms and ruffled sugar peonies with pearl centres (image by Morgan Trinker Photography via Style Me Pretty).
