Using brush embroidery over a hand-painted design is a versatile way to build up depth. I have two goddaughters and three nieces who particularly approve of this design, which features a sophisticated fairy ballerina together with her fairy dust and army of bumble bees.

Ingredients

You Will Need

  • 8 in petal-shaped cake covered with marzipan and sugar paste
  • 11 in petal-shaped board covered with sugar paste

Method

  1. Position the cake centrally on the covered board. Fix the narrower ribbon around the cake, securing it with royal icing at the back and in each of the indentations of the petal shape. Position a stamped-out flower in each of the indentations of the petal over the ribbon as shown. Fix the wider ribbon around the baseboard. Trace the fairy ballerina and bumble bee designs
