For this cake I was asked to combine a Crime Scene theme with a Naked Cake.
The story behind the cake: both bride and groom are police detectives and had decided on a Cluedo type theme to take place during their wedding reception. All the guests were suspects of having murdered the victim and had secretly been filmed saying a specific clue sentence. The highlight of the reception would be the arrival of the wedding cake and the revealing of the ‘real’ murder.
The cakes: the Naked Cake comprised 3 layers of chocolate sponge / orange sponge / chocolate sponge with a chocolate Brigadeiro filling. The top cake was a chocolate mud cake with an orange and dark chocolate cream filling. The whole ensemble was brought together with the additional of fruits – strawberries, blackberries, cranberries and kumquats were used.
The figures: hand modelled as fun caricatures of the bride and groom.
