This was my entry into the current Squires Exhibition 2014.
The category was 2 tier hand painted wedding cake.
Now I love all things busy and quirky but there was something so relaxing about just sitting at my table with a paint brush in hand.
I loved making this cake.
The topper is a double sided royal icing run out! The first time I had done a run out of any description and I decided to stand it up, brave or stupid??
I think stupid! Drove me mad when it kept breaking and I had to start again!
The wings are made from gelatine mixed with snowflake edible lustre
Again, first time using gelatine!
Nothing like winging it!……

(Excuse the pun!)

Hope you love it as much as I do :)

Oh! And I got a gold award and came 2nd place :)
