🎨 Decoration & Design
Turn your cake into a breathtaking Wedding Dress Cake:
Shape the top of the cake slightly like a gown (optional — carve a gentle waistline).
Cover the cake in smooth white fondant.
Add fondant layers shaped like soft ruffles or flowing fabric to mimic a bridal skirt.
Use edible pearl dust for a satin-like sheen.
Add lace textures using a lace mold or by piping royal icing with a fine tip.
Decorate with edible pearls around the edges for a jewelry-like finish.
Add a fondant bodice at the top with elegant folds and a sugar bow.
Finish with a silver ribbon or sugar flower bouquet at the waistline.
Keep the look minimalist, pure, and romantic.
