Oh my!!! I can feel the stress!!! What an amazing cake…luv the colour of the roses and brush embroidery with pearls are gorgeous! X

Gorgeous! Love your toppers and was hoping to see a closeup photo. :)
P/S: And lazy me will never roll them pearls by hand but use a bead maker. Lol!

Thank you Bedlington!! yes, stress was full on haha!! Thank you for the lovely words about the roses and the brush embroidery. Very touching and encouraging. :) xx

Pauline you make me laugh with your comments about the pearls haha! Many times my husband said that to me… ‘why don’t you just pipe them on?’ Yes, I’m nuts but I do believe they look better than piped and I always like to make the toppers (no moulds or cutters!!) otherwise I don’t feel I have actually made ‘the cake’. Silly, I know. Someone actually said ‘why don’t you buy some?’. What?? BUY cake decorations?? lol!!

Cakey love to you both xxx

You’re Amazing Fifi!! See, I could see a ‘Cake Wonder Women’ in the making…lol!! Love your figurines!! You did a awesome job despite all the last minute stress!! I’m so glad to know I’m not the only one who’s stress with cakes sometimes… lol!! xoxo

You never cease to amaze me Fiona! What a totally incredible cake, just love it. Your story about its construction made me laugh as I could imagine just what you were going through…felt the pain and exhilaration when its done. I think you should always wear a wonder woman outfit everytime you make cakes from now on lol xx

ooh another wonder woman comment lol!! thank you Joy and so glad you like the figurines. I am reliving the anxiety just thinking about it! thankfully it all ended happily :) Yes, we all go through the cake stress, no doubt about that. Even my 6 year old granddaughter gets stressed over her cupcakes! lol!!

Thank you so much Joy and Kaye. Big hugs xx

I have to give all of you lots of credit. Don’t think I could ever even attempt a wedding cake. Way too stressful. The cake is beautiful.

I was stressed just reading about it! and just kept thinking ‘yep, that’s one I would have had to turn down the order, I do believe!’ It turned out gorgeous and super job on the brushed embroidery (something I’ve yet to attempt on a wedding cake!). I also totally agree with you… I don’t purchase ‘ready made’ decorations either; I’m convinced that the art of truly ‘hand-made’ cakes will one day be a thing of the past…I shudder to think!!!

aw Goreti and Cakesby Chris. thank you both and I love your comments haha!! I think we should experience a wedding cake at least once in our lives. It’s quite, quite different to any other I find. thank you so much Goreti and Chris. You know, the day before it was due to be delivered there was someone in my kitchen while I was making the royal icing who could see what hadn’t been done yet and did not believe it would be done and it was at that moment, for the first time in my cakey life, I thought I would have to call in help!! Perishable thought!! But it just goes to show.. where there’s a will there’s a way….

You are all such awesome cake decorators, thank you so very much for your encouragement. Hugs! xx
