Let them eat cake !


I've had a bit of fun - a lot of fun, really - making the decorations to go on the top of cakes. We did a BIG wedding cake late last year, where the brief was to have lots of flowers, and to have them cascading down the sides. The cake was in front of a mirror, so the back was on view too.

Last week I did another one for a chocolate mud cake, also for a wedding. The theme colours for the event were red and chocolate brown. Her bouquet (which we also made) was a posy of red roses, and for the cake, I thought some semi-ripe blackberries would be a perfect colour link, as well as providing some textural contrast.

Yesterday was Lauren's engagement party, and she was going to have 60 chocolate cupcakes on a 3 tier glass cake stand. She wanted very bright flowers to put onthe top tier. Trรจs gai, non !
