We are currently spending our anniversary in Ochos Rios, Jamaica where we had our honeymoon 40 years ago. We will be having this anniversary cake after the fact in a small celebration when we get home. Cake is lovingly wrapped and frozen.
Enjoyed making, and always fun creating new designs. Bottom tier is a  buttercream rough texture finish and my first ruffle rose, using my own technique. Middle tier has cake lace, and roses made from gumpaste and cold porcelain.
Top tier is carrot cake with cake lace and bas relief. In keeping with ruby being the traditional colour of 40th Anniversary,  kept everything mostly red.
