Tropical Wedding Cake

This cake I have been really excited to do for a long time!! The dreaded extended tier.
It looks like 2 "tiers" but inside the bottom tier are 3 cakes and the top tier has 2 cakes in it.
The cake weighs around 17kgs and feeds 200 Coffee sized portions.
I decided to use my new cymbidium orchids and throw in a few sugar hibiscus I made, some bamboo and Aloha!!


Thought I'd share a quick shot of the cake before it becomes pretty.... Whoa thats a lot of chocolate ganache!

Persian inspired cake.

Created this two tier wedding cake this week at PC105.
Something a little bit different with the colours but I think its really fun and dramatic.
The cake is offset with a handpainted gold peony.

A cake of many firsts!

I recieved the order for this cake 2 months ago and have been busting to create it since!
What a fabulous design for a 21st Birthday Cake.
This cake was quite a challange for me as it is my first "madhatter" style cake and first time covering an entire tier in black fondant.
Favourite part of creating this cake would have to be handpainting the leopard print!

Suitcase Bag


2 Tier cake with suitcase and handbag. Will serve around 60.
Handpainted leopard "print" and all gold details are handpainted.

It was surprising how long the details in this cake took! The first day
(5hours) was spent cutting, ganaching, covering the two cakes and creating
the flower.
The second day (5 hours) was spent Stacking and detailing the cake. Adding
the lid, painting the leopard adding all the suitcase details and all the
handbag details.
A very fun cake to create, I cant wait to create a suitcase cake with travel
stickers on it!
