Pastry chef Christine Dahl of Christine Dahl Pastries is a master of her craft. Specializing in Wedding cakes, she produces some 150 unique designs every year. Here is a masterpiece she has done for a wedding this weekend. The pipping is done with buttercream on an overlay of fondant icing. The art of the art is that it is all done freehand without any pattern or template. The cake is a chiffon base with lemon curd and white chocolate mousse plus fresh raspberries.
What may not be as obvious is that the cakes are very symmetrical and the fondant topping smooth and wrinkle-free. That is the hallmark of a skilled artisan. It's no surprise that they also are delicious!
