The brief for this cake was ‘I want the most impressive cake you have ever made’! I was then shown pictures of the royal wedding cake which the client liked! After a deep breath I got to work designing and bringing in the requests from the client, a large display of heavily decorated sugar flowers, all in ivory, brushed embroidery, piped detailing AND an extra surprise around the back! The groom owned a scaffolding company s they wanted a simple display at the back that would not effect the cake and that could be removed/hidden from the main photos of the front of the cake.
It was great to make but weighed a ton!
The cake was made of up a 14" carrot cake, 12" fruit cake, 10" lemon cake, 8" traditional sponge cake, 6" chocolate and 4" fruit cake. I travelled it in two halves and put it together at the venue. It took two of us to carry the base 3 tiers and that was a struggle!
