The Making of a Regal Cake

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a tutorial on how the above regal cake with extended swirl design was made. This is actually two separate cakes which I merged together to create this look. There are several elements to this cake and I will be directing you to other tutorials on this website on how to make the several elements. For links for the recipes used for this cake, click here.

THE PROCESS:

(1) First make the floral crown. I have a tutorial here on how to make this crown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(2) Make the top tier. I have a detailed tutorial here on how the top tier was made. The tutorial contains a lot of tips on how to make vertical fondant stripes on cakes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(3) For the bottom tier, drape the tier with teal fondant and wrap about 3/4 of the tier with a quilt design. A tutorial on how I quilt my cakes can be found here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(4) Make the extended swirl design on the bottom tier. A detailed tutorial on how to achieve this design can be found here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(5) Finally stack both tiers together and place the fondant crown on the top tier.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That’s all there is to it. Happy caking!
