Black and White with Lace and Quilled Flowers

Black and White with Lace and Quilled Flowers

This is my first cake for 2014, a black and white themed 21st cake.
I had free reign so I wanted to make something pretty but a little bit different. The bottom tier has cake lace and I used Jo Orr’s cake Lace recipe which is absolutely brilliant. For the top tier I wanted to continue the design so I decided to make quilled flowers. I first saw this method in Collette Peters book Cakes to Dream On but I notice recently it has become quite popular with it being used by Violet Cake Shop and Gulnaz Mitchel.
Thanks for looking.
Cakie Hugs for the new Year x
