(Yes and this is a REAL cake made from Edible Imaging - a full size Louis Vuitton Hat Box Cake that a Baker made for the Louis Vuitton 120th Anniversary in Melbourne - we helped and designed the imaging taking it straight from an original Hat Box from the Store! Always interesting trying to scan leather - but it worked a treat and I suspect weighed a ton as it was made out of mud cake.)

This cake is 12”x10”x8”x6” tiered cake. Bake your layers in beveled pans or trim your layers to get the beveled shape. Ice each tier lightly with buttercream or ganache and enrobe each tier with white fondant then stack.
Pipe pearl borders using a #10 Plain Round Tube evenly.
Suggestion: stop squeezing completely before moving on to next “pearl” to avoid peaks in icing.
Then pipe 5 rows of pearl dots spaced as shown using a #4 Plain Round Tube. Again stop squeezing before pulling away from cake and if you find peaks in your pearls go back with a wet brush and tap them down to round off your pearls.
Airbrush a variety of sizes of White Royal Icing Roses and White Leaves with Lucks Pearl Shimmer Airbrush Color (Buy Airbrush Shimmer online here) and allow them to dry. Create a bouquet on the top tier.
Then airbrush the entire cake with Pearl Shimmer Airbrush Color. For best results apply 2 light coats instead of one thick coat of pearl shimmer. This cake can also be finished with buttercream only instead of fondant icing and still have the pearl finish.
Simply elegant and amazing!

We showcased this cake in a previous newsletter (before we had the archive option!) - and we have had a lot of requests for the instructions on making it. So here they are:
This cake is 3 hexagon-shaped tiers: 8” by 6” by 5". Each tier is approximately 3” high.
1. A day ahead of making this cake, roll out white fondant and slightly moisten with plain water. Apply the Royal Flush Edible Image® Decorations Buy online here .
2. Trim the fondant close to the edge using a ribbon insertion tool with the pointed blade or an X-ACTO type razor knife. Let the fondant cards dry overnight.
3. Ice cake and assemble.
4. Stack the dried fondant playing cards around the cake as shown to simulate a house of cards.
5. Make a triangle of 3 cards on top, so this looks like a 4-tiered cake instead of only three.
6. Finish with white shell border using a #8 plain round tube.
7. Add Playing Card Assortment Dec-Ons® Decorations Buy online here.
