I don’t get to make many cakes due to lack of time and I committed to this wedding cake a year ago for a nephew, with no idea how frantically busy I would be this month. So I really had to rush the roses. I was still pleased with the outcome.

The cake was A real family affair; Grandma baked the fruit cake and I marzipanned and iced it. And we had passion fruit Gateau and and chocolate fudge cake with truffle. All iced with Bakels pettinice and all my flowers are made freeform with no cutters, just a plastic bag and spoons using Bakels pettinice with added tylose and crisco.

I was really worried that I wasn’t taking the cake to the wedding and have to admit for the 2 and a bit hours it took to get up there I kept hoping it would arrive in one piece! lol. it was really too big for a box or any box we could find so grandma sat with it in the back of my SIL’s car!
