Instructions for decorating a wedding cake:

  1. Place each cupcake on a tray of the appropriate size and grease it with apricot jelly. Then cover them with marzipan.
  2. Leave 900 g of sugar fudge to decorate the trays, cover each cupcake with the rest. Better to start with a larger cake. Leave them overnight in boxes in a warm place. Knead the remaining fondant and use to cover the trays. Place cupcakes on trays, hide in boxes.
  3. Prepare the petal fondant and the glaze, staining them with food coloring in the color of old gold. Fill with a royal glaze a pastry syringe with a simple nozzle with a medium cut.
  4. Cut a wide ribbon of suitable length, cover it with all three trays.
  5. Make wax paper stencils. To do this, measure three strips of equal width and length equal to the circles of the cupcakes. Divide each strip into equal parts: the longest by six, the middle by five, the short by four. Fold the stripes along the fold lines. Take a plate, attach it to the stencils so that the top edge is in the middle of the strip in width. Circle the plate and cut the stencil along the resulting contour.
  6. Wrap each cupcake with a suitable stencil, outline festoons with a pin. Remove the stencils. Stretch the cupcakes along the bottom edge with a wide ribbon, fasten the ribbon with drops of royal glaze.
  7. Use the remaining fondant to make frills. To do this, knead the fondant and roll. Using a mold, cut a circle with a diameter of 7.5 cm. In its center, make a hole with a diameter of 2.5 cm. Take a toothpick and create frills with it. To do this, press it around the circumference of the outer edge. Then, with a sharp knife, cut the fudge from the center to the outer edge, so you get a frill.
  8. DIY decorate the wedding cake with the bottom cupcake. On it, along the contour of the stencil, draw a line of glaze, fix the frill, pressing it with your fingers to the surface. With tweezers, clip the pattern at the joints of the frills. Do the number of rows with frills as you wish based on the size of the cake.
  9. Decorate the basics with waved patterns. Paint a part of the royal glaze with a dye in dark brown color and apply it using the nozzle of a confectionery syringe with the narrowest cone on top of the droplets.
  10. Using the thinnest ribbons, make 15 bows of each color. Fasten them at the joints of the frills.
  11. Send the cupcakes to dry by putting them in boxes.
  12. Before the celebration, on the lower and middle cupcakes, you can put support columns. Stick acrylic sticks in them and in the cupcakes themselves. Mark the height of the supports on them, remove them. Cut excess. Use acrylic sticks and supports to assemble the cake. You can add chocolate chips if you wish..
