This cake was made as a competition entry for a local show. The category was modern wedding cake open section. It placed second which I was really please about!
The open peony like flowers were hand painted with pink coloured chalks and the edges of the petals painted with edible gold paint. The green hydrangea flowers helped frame the peonies.
The pleating on the top tier was my first attempt and the ruffled rosettes on the bottom tier were my first attempt of this technique also.
