This is what my finished cake looked like. I baked 9 individual sponges in the end. I brushed the edges and soaked the sponges with syrup as suggested by Sandra. I prepared the cake minus the fruit and flowers the day before but only put the base and second tier together as I was a little unsure of it’s ability to travel without the fondant holding it all together. It took me around another 3/4 hour at the venue to finish the job properly.
It went down a bomb and reached no1 spot on here! :-)
