How To Draw A Filigree Frame
So you've been asked to make a cake. Heck yes, you lot're thinkin', that is in fact what I love to practice. 😉 But then it comes downwards to making information technology and you've realized the mold you thought you had (you know the one yous Thought you bought?) isn't really in your possession. Or perhaps you lot just don't want to spend extra money for a mold that you might utilize, I don't know, mayhap twice, always?
Well, that's what happened to me when I was making my "Queen of Tarts" block! (btw I have a very detailed tutorial of how to sculpt the face here)
No molds... coulda swore I had some, but, I didn't.
And so it was up to me and my hands!
And then, if yous find yourself in my position, or decide you lot don't desire to drop numberless of cash on some one-time-use molds... don't worry, I got your back...
Oh-la-la gold rococo-styled filigree frame without whatever molds!
All it takes: your capable hands, some elementary shapes, a Dresden tool and maybe a glass of wine (or a easy, obviously) to help yous get through information technology 😉
Firstly, outset with a ball of fondant the size of a dime
At present, mold it into a triangle by pinching with 3 fingers.
Taking the fatty stop of your Dresden tool, make an indentation in the eye.
Make some other on each side, creating three fanning off from the center bottom indicate.
Between the indentations, press downwards from the top to create a separation. 
Echo again for the bottom. Identify as shown.
Take another brawl, and make a tear drop shape by tapering 1 end.
Flatten it slightly with your thumb. So, using the sharp side of tool, separate it into iii different areas.
Start with the sharp end on the table, and rock it forward creating a continuous look around the edge. This should create the look of iii tier drops, yet still continued.
Now, create some lines within the teardrop shapes to aid add together more particular. (this will brand it pop later when we add the gold).
Now, place it on your fondant with a trivial chip of water or piping gel and repeat the procedure on the opposite side.
Take some other ball, and make a tear drib shape by tapering 1 finish.
Flatten it slightly on pinnacle and then over again on the border (equally pictured).
Create lines using the sharp end of the dresden tool.
Like so.
Flip it, and roll upwards the fat side towards you.
Like so.
Repeat for multiple areas of the frame, as needed.
Repeat the same steps as before….
Meet how it's starting to come together?!
Yet, this time cut out a sliver of the tear drop.
Curl one side 1 direction.
And the other side the opposite, along with the sliver. Like so.
Create tear drops.
Add them straight to the cake with a little bit of h2o.
Add more accents, such as smaller tear drops, stacked.
Next, create detail with simple indentations through the centre.
Brand some balls and identify them throughout the cake as accents.
Mix gold highlighter with vodka, or everclear, until it's paintable. Practice on a scrap first earlier you add it to the frame, you want to make sure information technology looks like the right opacity!
What skillful is a gorgeous rococo frame without some gold in it, am I right?!
Using a flat paintbrush, begin to pigment the frame. You don't need to get every nook and cranny, information technology actually increases the depth when some black is immune to testify through.
And there is our no-mold, handmade, rococo-styled, filigree frame! Not equally scary equally it looks eh?[
Bada bing, bada boom, you guys! Check out how gorgeous that frame is and you didn't even need to go to the shop in a panic. Does that simplify your life a flake or what, right?! As always, if you lot give this tutorial a try, be sure to share pictures of your work!
