a rosey wedding

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

My client wanted a wedding cake with white and pink roses all the way down one side.  Its a combination of white chocolate mud cake and caramel mud cake.

I had some caramel mud cake left over and have eaten so much of it. Terrible. I really have no will power. I spent the week finishing off filler flowers, roses and leaves. This is the side view. I think its quite pretty.

The final cake is very traditional I think and lovely. The bride told me exactly what she wanted. I think she has lovely taste.

 

 

Ballerina cake

Monday, April 6th, 2009

I loved making this cake, especially the little ballerina!. It’s a first birthday cake. You can’t tell from this photo but she has sparkles in her hair and sprinkled over her tutu. The cake is vanilla buttercake layered with buttercream - pink of course.

I had some trouble though working out how to do ballet shoes. I think they might be a bit big but hopefully a one year old won’t notice.

Bride and Groom figurines

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

These are my first real attempts at bride and groom sugar figurines. It took me a really long time to get the bride’s shape right. In fact, it took me longer than it did to make the cake. I was happy with them in the end. I had to travel with them for a couple of hours and was terrified the whole time that they would break! But, they both made it safely to the wedding.

I didn’t even get a proper photo of the cake. This is it still in the box I transported it in. Not yet at the wedding venue.
