There's so much you can do with white texturess! We love this beautiful, textural white wedding cake created by Mimi Ospina of Whipped up by Mimi. Mimi is known for her unique visions in cake form and pristine work.

This modern textural wedding cake is a great design for a classic bridal affair with a nod to the traditional but still keeping it fresh and trendy! Your eye is led around the cake from the swirling layers and delicate details.

For flavors, you can't go wrong with the classic vanilla cake recipe which was perfected recently by Mimi to be ultra light and fluffy.

About this cake:

"I chose my design based on current fashion trends. We are seeing more fluidity and textures in wedding gowns, I wanted to incorporate that into my cake design in a sleek and simple way. I feel my design is simple enough to attract an array of clients and it offers that little artistic pop of texture to keep their interest."

Check out this awesome tutorial from Mimi on how to create this beautiful white texture using generic brooch molds, gumpaste and some gold dust from trucolor.

White textures tutorial

  • Satin Ice Gum paste
  • Tru Colors Gold Shine Food Paint
  • Bubble Mold
  • Brooch Molds - custom made by Elizabeth Marek
  • Rolling Pin
  • Piping Gel
  • 2 Paint brushes
  • Blade for cutting
fondant for beginners
Take your Gum paste and fill your molds. Make sure they are firmly packed in and cut to have a level backing. I cut out 2 of each brooch and 2 bubble strips. Set aside.
Take your gum paste and roll out two 10” x 4” strips. You want to roll both out paper thin. Store under plastic wrap or a plastic sleeve until ready for the next step.
Step 3 Take your strip and cut in half long ways, set second strip aside.
Take your strip and gently scrunch together starting at the end and working your way down.
Manipulate as needed to create a fabric flowing effect.
Repeat with remaining strips. Cover with plastic wrap until ready to adhere to the cake. 

Take your molds and dry dust with Tru Color Gold Shine until fully coated. Brush off any access dust.
Cut out the individual jewels from your brooch and level the backings for easy applying to the cake. Next tear apart your bubble strip in patterns that are fluid. 

Time to apply your gum paste fabric. Take your piping gel and apply in the area that you would like your gum paste fabric to lay, if needed lay your fabric first prior to applying the piping gel to make sure that is where you want it to lay.
Lastly it is time to apply your bubble strip pieces and jewels. Find sections on your cake that is most visually appealing and goes with the fluidity of the fabric. Apply your piping gel and adhere. Once all applied your piece is all complete!
