Sculpted Decorations Intricate designs in many styles with flowers, leaves, shells, or abstract shapes sculpted in marzipan, sugar paste or chocolate create breath-taking realism or inspiring fantasy. Sculpted elements can be applied to any iced cake and combined with other techniques for a wide variety of effects. Let me help you choose the best medium for the style you want.
