Sweet Tables - A Romance of Ruffles - Zoe Clark
A Romance of Ruffles
Craft a sophisticated collection of sensuous desserts softly textured with piped swirls, frills and ruffles in dreamy, muted tones.
Fantasy frills
This fabulous trio of celebration cakes is a study in texture and tone, featuring the use of buttercream as the decorating medium rather than the usual smooth sugarpaste. The three distinct designs are created using the same basic technique and piping tube but worked in slightly different ways and tones. The ruffled tiers are contrasted with plain tiers to accentuate the textural effects.
Equipment
Hollow pieces of dowel, cut to size (see Baking and Covering Techniques: Assembling tiered cakes)
Cake dummy, cake stand or heavy-duty turntable
Large disposable plastic piping (pastry) bags
Petal piping tube (tip) no. 103
RIBBON 1.5cm (⁵⁄8in) ivory, coffee, peach satin
Flower picks (optional)
Basic equipment (see Tools and Equipment)
Unless you have access to refrigerated transport on the day, assemble the upper tiers of the four-tier cake on site.
