Cakes Inspired by Fabric: Calico

A two-dimensional calico print comes to life on a cake with diminutive hand-sculpted flowers, leaves, and fruits; the soft colors are reminiscent of the faded look of a vintage apron. Real rickrack trim, bordering clusters of fruit on the middle tier, imparts a cheery, homespun feel. Set against ivory fondant, strawberries and cherries grow from stems of piped royal icing, tinted brown. The fruits are shaped from sugar paste painted in delicate shadings and hues. Rickrack trim is secured with royal icing.

    I really wish that the bakery who designed this cake was named. Like one of the other posters, I too am basing my color palette on this beautiful cake.

    I was married on August 9th and my Aunt made me this cake. It was beautiful and tasted great. I believe it took 2 days to make.

    My wedding color theme is based on this beautiful cake. I so wish I could try just one little bite.
