Afternoon Tea

expand all pictures

I wanted this cake to look like a lady’s coffee table, as she just put down her crochet to get some hot water for her afternoon tea and a sweet treat.
This cake was not made for any special occasion, I was just practicing different techniques. Everything is edible except, flower stems and crochet needle.
The orchid pot is vanilla cake with espresso fudge buttercream and dark chocolate ganache, I wanted it to look antiqued and glazed.
I got a great tip from one amazing Cakes Decor lady Gulnaz Mitchell about Ciccio Cakes home made sugar lace recipe, which is one of the techniques I used here.
Please follow the link if you are interested in purchasing this recipe, trust me IT’S SO WORTH IT AND IT’S FOR A GOOD CAUSE TOO!!!

O my goodness, Selma! This cake is AMAZING! So many techniques and nicely managed to used them in one great design!
Thank you so much for including me (I just showed you a direction) and Jo from Ciccio cakes, who made this wonderful lace recipe and easy tutorial and including the link of Operation Sugar which will benefit a good cause.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments, I don’t get a chance to make so many cakes these days… Mostly I’m chasing my 15 month old around the house so I squeezed as many techniques as I could in one go hahaha ;)
