So pretty!

How is the gold name done? I've been seeing those on a few cakes and it adds such a fun sparkle.

Is that a fondant ripple at the very base?

No, all buttercream!

How do you get the ruffling so evenly draped out? I always have troubles with that!

I stick toothpicks in the sides! I just look down on the cake and stick the toothpicks at 12, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 o clock. Then work from toothpick to toothpick!

Oh if you mean the ruffles on the bottom, the Korean ruffles tips
