\"Ruffle<\/a><\/p>\n

Ruffle rose cakes are a\u00a0huge trend in cake decorating this year, especially in wedding cake design with ruffled fabrics\u00a0featuring\u00a0in so many of the bridal collections. It’s a design trend that works great not just as a side design, which our beautiful wedding cake example by Jen’s Cakery<\/a> shows above, but also as a cake top<\/em> design for single tier cakes.\u00a0 The very talented designer Elina Prawito of Bake-a-Boo Cakes & Cupcakes<\/a>\u00a0in New Zealand has created the superb cake (above left). It\u00a0is one of those\u00a0fantastic cake designs that\u00a0works wondefully\u00a0for lots of occasions. The ribbon bow peeping out from under the sugar flower is a beautiful finishing touch.<\/p>\n

While the ruffle rose design may look intricate and difficult to achieve, it’s quite simple to create. It does however\u00a0take some time to complete an entire tier in ruffles if you are using it as a side design. We have a great tutorial here from mycakeschool.com<\/a>\u00a0which features the cake below left, and a tutorial from Wilton<\/a> featuring the cake below right.<\/p>\n

The ruffle rose design\u00a0simply involves rolling out long strips of either modelling paste or flower paste (gumpaste), frilling one edge of\u00a0each strip with a ball tool, then attaching the strips to the cake in a circular pattern like a flower.\u00a0 Some cake designers work from the centre out, whilst others prefer to start with the outline and work inwards – it’s a matter of personal preference.<\/p>\n

The cake designs below are two super chic examples of the ruffle rose design, both of which also\u00a0incorporate a touch of luxury with silver accents. The “Vera Wang” wedding cake (below left) is by one of our favourite cake designers, Yummy Cupcakes <\/a>(Australia), while the cake below right is an exquisite and\u00a0unique\u00a0design by Cheryl’s Cake Boutique <\/a>(UK) with jewelled beading expertly created with silver and pearl\u00a0dragees.<\/p>\n
