For
my daughter's wedding, she had a beautiful wedding cake but she really wanted
this cake. However, the baker told her it was too difficult for her to make.
So
for her birthday and her ruffly Birthday table, I decided to make a similar cake, which became the
inspiration for her ruffly birthday party. I was a little intimidated but found
this tutorial.
I had taken beautiful tutorial pictures for this post but alas, my camera card died with all those pictures. It took me a week to figure out if the camera was defunct or the card. So apologize and will attempt this tutorial again in the near future.

Buttercream
the entire cake. Cut
the fondant to fit the top of the cake. Next,
take a piece of fondant and place on a corn starched work space. Roll
until thin, approximately 1/8 inch thick, keep lifting the fondant to make sure
it doesn't stick to the work board. Measure
and trim the fondant strip to 1 1/2 inch wide.
I
carefully rolled one side of the fondant with a stick to make the side more
ruffly. Wet
the side of the cake and attach the fondant to the cake. Make sure not to add
too much water to the cake. Fondant and water don't mix too well.
I
folded some of the strip to make it even more ruffly. Keep
adding ruffles around the cake. I added 6 layers of ruffles.
It
looks very close to the wedding cake. So pretty and feminine.
Here is her instagram picture of her real birthday cake.
I love this cake you did a great job!!! It look so much like the original idea!
