This cake was created as a Royal Iced assessment piece in my final year at college. It included a pastillage cup and saucer which was very difficult (it took four or five attempts) Also top and bottom collars. The top collar included a decoupage poinsettia and both collars were decorated with filigree piping. The side of the cake included some hand painted poinsettia (to reflect the painting I had done on the cup) and extension work. This cake took a considerable amount of work and effort but it paid off as I was awarded a distinction!
