Sometimes we are surprised of how simple things could please our eyes and bring us happiness. I guess some great cake decorators understand and practice this concept occasionally. The other day I was decorating my cake and thinking hard what design I should create to go along with my Gerbera sugar flowers. So there Mich Turner came into picture.
A London’s top cake designer who are well known for her creations, Mich Turner has written many inspiring cake decorating books. One that is in my collection and has become an important source of ideas is “Wedding Cakes” published in 2009. In that wonderful book on page 78 Mich, who is famous for her chic and contemporary design showed that when a grid of ½ inch lines running in random direction are piped on cake, and then dots of pearls are added at random spots on those lines, the result is a very cool pattern.
It took me just a short while to complete such seemingly detailed pattern. And I could not wait to quickly compose my Gerbera flowers on it. These blossoms are made in various colors and sitting in the air-proof container for quite some time now. The moment has arrived for them to strike a pose.
Thanks to Mich for the wonderful pattern, and wish to read and enjoy more of her books in the near future. I am sure if you are fond of fondant cake decorating, you might have some of her books in your collection too. Which one is your favorite?
Yes this did please my eye.It looks like it walked out strate from teh gallery of beautiful art:)

Wow you have stunned me speechless once again -- how do you do this so often? ;p I've just gotten into a little bit of cake decorating for the sake of some orders. So far just some poppy flower and baby booties, but it really is quite fun. I can see why you're so hooked =D
ReplyDeleteI have quite a few cake decorating books but none by Mich Turner. Now that I have seen the results you have come up with I am intrigued and will look her books up. Very pretty cake, I love your fondant work.
ReplyDeleteI just spent fifteen minutes showing my mom your blog--she couldn't stop saying that your cakes are much prettier than anything she's ever seen in a bakery. I definitely agree!
ReplyDeletethis is just amazing, wow!
ReplyDeleteMich Turner is one of my favourites too. I was sent her Masterclass book a little while ago to review and just fell in love with it.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to do one of her classes in London, maybe see you there? :)
