DIRECTIONS:
ARCH (premade and dried): The 'arch' is made of colorflow icing in royal icing consistency. (I used colorflow to make it so it would dry harder and not break). I added tulle* to the back to also add stability. I made up the pattern. But you could look at a plastic arch and make yours. Or you can use a plastic one.
Ice cake white. Add tuk 'n ruffle around cake, inserting it just under the iced cake to hold it in place.
PATH: Spread on a green icing 'path.' Pipe tip 232 'grass' and add tiny sprinke flowers.
HEARTS: Make a paper pattern and transfer it onto the cake. Pipe tip 13 pink zigzag first. Then go right on top of the zigzag with tips 3 then 2. The pipe tip 1 pink on top of the hearts.
TOP BORDER: Pipe tip 32 curved shells. Pipe over those
with tip 3 then 2 and finally pink tip 1.
BOTTOM BORDER: Tip 32 straight shells.
DOLLS: Pin on a circle of parchment paper for 'hats.' Skirts are petite doll pan cakes. Pipe tip 104 ruffles starting at the bottom and working up to the waist. I also added tip 0 pink edging on the ruffles on the skirt. Pipe pink bodices using tip 2. Add tip 1 pink string at shoulders. Decorate the hats with tip 1 or 2 zigzags.
You can use tiny icing flowers or artificial ones to carry in dolls hands.
I piped tiny tip 2 bows on the sides at the tops of the tip 14 white garlands and tip 2 pink stringwork.
Daisies are royal icing, white striped with deep pink and pink centers. TIP: I piped them out on wax paper squares, leaning each square with the flower on it braced against the last one - in a row...so they would curl naturaly and not dry flat..
This
sketch is another decorating idea for the doll. But, as you can see from
the photo, all I did was tip 104 ruffles starting at the bottom and going
up to the waist.
