This is my Red arrows cake made for a gentleman celebrating his 89th birthday! When I was asked to make this I was very keen to make sure it didn’t end up looking like a children’s cake but with the lovely bright colours and the five planes in formation it was difficult to get away from it! First of all I decided to get an image printed for the top and keep it simple but after a while trying to find a good quality image of the planes in formation I decided that wouldn’t be good enough and I needed to get more creative! That’s how I came to the decision to hand paint a red arrow formation flying over the seaside landscape!
