I have since learnt there are even cake decorating courses on just this! The term 'Filigree fondant' is a term already used in cake decorating but is normally used to describe a more lace like piping technique rather than the rolling and shaping of fondant (again mainly sourced from my google escapades).<br /><br />But my, there are some beautiful paper quilled cakes... I guess the distinction for now will have to lie in the fact that this is <i>fondant</i> quilling.<br /><br />I'm so glad you have enjoyed my blog and hope you continue to... It is always lovely to get feedback and especially to learn new things - I'm even a little inspired regarding paper quilling!The SPANGLERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05683069203373614514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4981955022661401305.post-87384798821054902892011-09-22T04:09:54.327+10:002011-09-22T04:09:54.327+10:00First let me tell you how much I enjoyed your blog...First let me tell you how much I enjoyed your blog. The variety of things you've done shows you are Jack of all trades and a master of many.<br /><br />I agree with Ann about the kids being adorable and the beauty of the cake, but I have to disagree about one thing... The name of the process.<br /><br />Quilling also known as paper filigree by its very nature is made out of paper. It was created to mimic metal filigree. I believe what you're doing might be more accurately named fondant filigree. This would prevent confusion for people wanting to see the cake done in paper (and yes there are Quillers who do create quite beautiful cakes in paper).<br /><br />I look forward to seeing what other beautiful things you create in the future.Vietnamvethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989965124658441903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4981955022661401305.post-18693727531114184462011-09-20T05:23:04.766+10:002011-09-20T05:23:04.766+10:00Adorable girls and the quilled cake turned out gre...Adorable girls and the quilled cake turned out great!Ann Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15425151742060266097noreply@blogger.com
