Rachel and James’ White Chocolate Cascade Wedding Cake

I was nervous and excited to make Rachel and James’ wedding cake, as it was the first time I was using modelling chocolate for something other than experimenting. The whole cake was chocolate, except for the top tier which was a small fruit cake. There were over 90 individually handmade white chocolate roses cascading down the side of the cake. I was really pleased with how the finished cake looked, and I’ve heard from guests at the wedding that it tasted as good as it looked!
