When I was asked to do a western style wedding cake, I really didn't know what to put on it, but the first thing that came to mind was the tooled leather designs, that are everywhere here in Oklahoma. So I did some research, again, I cannot stress enough "Do your research" and I found some designs online. I was working with Edible Photos at the time, so I used my photo program and made some strips of tooled leathers that I really liked and then printed them off onto the edible paper. I cut the strips out and after placing them onto the sides of the buttercream cake, I used a plastic tool and just embedded the designs into the buttercream. It worked like magic and actually looked like the real thing! So here are some of the different ways I used the strips for different designs and different cakes.
And here are some of the strips I use.
The following cakes are some just for fun cowboys and cowboy stuff.
