The twin cake consists of a primary cake (left side) with a cake topper of 1000 plus gumpaste flowers of five petal flower fillers, lavenders, irises, calla lilies, cattleyas and cymbidiums. Underneath this cake topper is a dimensional basketweave design overpiped 3x using royal icing. Further below, the first two tiers showcases 23 pieces of stunning lattice cushions made also of royal icing! Scattered around the cake are 700+ lavenders and other five petal flowers piped petal by petal using 101s rose petal tubes (not the tubes for the drop flowers!).
For the Groom’s cake – I decided to do away with gumpaste flowers and concentrate rather on other Lambeth Continental overpiping techniques – pansy rings, 400 pcs more of the 1 cm five petal royal icing flowers, shells on sides of the cake and lots of overpiped drop strings. For the topper, I placed my 24th lattice cushion on top of a ball as its centerpiece, like a ring bearer’s cushion.
I did all of these myself after my regular 9 hour hotel work (butler). I have blogs on these. I hope you like these cakes.
Very nice!
