How are these vertical lines made (1 Viewer)

[Jenny]

Hi, my daughter in law to be would like a cake like this. Unfortunately there is no information about the cake or who made it. Can you help with how the texture is made and do you think it's sugar paste or buttercream. Thank you .

Morning @Jenny, welcome to the site.

Taking a quick look at the cake, I would say it is sugar paste due to the smoothness, and to create the texture, they used a Dresden tool to draw the lines vertically.

I did have a quick check to see if it was similar to a Katie Sue or Karen Davies Tree mould effect, but the texture isn’t the same.
I think they have just free-handed and drawn the lines into the sugar paste.

The cake artist who made the cake is : winifredkristecake

Hope this helps.

... having just looked at the WinfredKriste Insta page, I think the cake may be buttercream as that's what she seems to be using on all her other cakes. If so, she's very skilful as the exterior of the cake on the above picture is super smooth!
