Learn how to make a wedding cake topper using an elegant feminine letter for the bride which is intertwined around a bold masculine letter for the groom.
In this tutorial, you are going to experience how to design and put together an intertwined initials cake topper from scratch.
Usually when we hear the words “initials topper”, the first thing that comes to mind is 2 bold letters placed side by side with an ‘&’ symbol in the middle. To me, this is like a couple standing side by side, not even holding hands and not showing any emotion at all. Now, imagine a couple with their arms wrapped around each other, showing that they really love and complete each other. This is the type of initials topper I want to show you in this tutorial.
I will use two different fonts. One will be masculine style font that is straight and bold representing the male. The other will be a feminine fragile and cursive font representing a female. They will not stand side by side but instead be intertwined to become one and express a true love for one another.
I would like to use this initial topper. Can you give me any suggestion how to write Mr. & Mrs. Pannu. Both their name starts with J. (Janita and Jaspreet) wedding is November 10th, 2018.

Awesome tutorial! I absolutely love the option of mixing the gold powder with oil instead of alcohol. Have you used oil with other dusts, as well?
Very interesting tutorial, this is a proper opportunity as my husband asked jokingly his name initials on the cake. Is it possible please help on how to interfere the feminine K letter on masculine M. Thank youuuuu.
This tutorial is great and very easy to follow. I have never seen anyone adding oil to color dust, I’ll have to try it. Can you help me design a masculine D with a feminine R?
Please check your inbox
i am amazed by such talent! the letters are gorgeous, i would have never thought of oil for coloring in gold, in France we don’t have grain alcohol , oil is such a great alternative even though it doesn’t dry to touch
thank you so much for this tutorial chef!!!!!!!

I need help in designing 2 Js together. A masculine J and feminine J?
Also, instead of a base, can I insert skewers at the bottom of the masculine letter to stick directly into a cake?
Thank you! I love your work!

What can I use to colour the pastillage, I want navy blue masculine M and feminine K in silver, what are the best ways to colour the M , in navy powder or americolor, and the grey in? If I use a silver dust with oil, will it give a glossy look like the gold? I will have silver leaf on one of the layers on the cake, be nice to match. I noticed you commented that spray colour the M, I guess I can buy this. I am in Cairns Qld
Making deep colors with pastillage requires excessive amount color which can also cause change the strength of pastillage . This is what I would do. Make the M with white and airbrush the color all sides twice and let it dry. I would also do the K with white and paint with brush using oil and silver dust after dried.
I tinted my pastillage a deep black but twice it faded to a gray as it dried. Do you have any suggestions? I have never had fondant or gum paste do this. It was not in direct sunlight..
The only reason cause that is not enough colour been used. Or the strength of the colour itself. If you don’t want to add more colour, do this: If it is for block letter do a little airbrushing with black on both sides and wait till completely dry. If it is for cursive letter use a sharp-tip paint brush to apply black carefully after the centrepiece dried and finished.
Hi, it`s so interesting want to try but if you could give a hint, how can i intertwined a V and S in one Line and in a lower Position putting front in a 6inch cake with a 3 Inch high, thanks
Which letter is female ? I did not understand the position. Just give me the size of initials you want to do
Thanks for your Reply, I was thinking the letters would be on 3 Inch sizes, V would be bold and S would be the feminine, my plan is to hang the feminine letter to the bold V ( just like a rope hanging in a intertwined style like yours) Thanks and hoping you have my Point.
oh it will not stand but will be glued on the front side of a cake, thanks
I received your mail, thank you it`s really beautiful and a great help, many many thanks!
VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I CAN’T WAIT TO TRY IT.
WoW, WoW, really loved this tutorial. i have to do it, but i’m not sure about the pastillage for the feminine letters, how do you make this pastillage so soft and playable ?
thanks
Hi Sara, Glad you enjoyed the tutorial. If you have a look at our Recipes section, we have a recipe for the pastilage that Serdar is using. Getting it to be a nice pliable consistency is just a matter of balancing the amount of water and the temperature. Please also take a look at this article for some tips on how to work with pastillage. Hope this helps, thanks.
Fantastic tutorial.
One thing that I would appreciate clarification on. You said that you mix the gold dust with vegetable oil so that it would shine. How long would that take to completely dry? And could I use the oil to mix with any coloured dust to get a shiny finish?
Thank you so much 🙂
It will not get touch dry for quite sometime because oil will not evaperate but why you have to wait till dry . You place the topper on the cake and it is done. No I don’t think any coloured dust will work with oil. Thanks
its like a professional carpenting skill to me. i would definitely try this!
Its too beautiful
Wow that is beautiful. For silver i would have to use real edible silver powder, can i use silver leaf to give the same effect.
Powder is possible not the leaves. Thanks
Beautiful!
Hi there, when will this tutorial be released as you promoted it before the grand piano tutorial and that one is released already – can’t wait!
Hi Nova, yes apologies for confusion. The order that we publish ‘Coming soon’ tutorials may not always be the order we publish the actual tutorials. The Intertwined Initials Topper should be published very soon (in a few days). Thanks 🙂
Mooi
Cant wait for this tutorial, when is it going to be published
