Gold Lace Cake

I decided to make a floating cake as one of my dummy cakes for the coming wedding fair season and decorate it with lace trim. I like the effect the floating has on the cake, making it slightly separated and giving a little more height and wow factor. 

I used 4 square dummy cakes and covered them in various colours of sugarpaste. Using square drums I separated out the tiers of the cake but I did this in pairs so some were close and some were separated. I trimmed those layers closest to the boards with a edible lace trim and over hung the edge slightly. 

I wanted this to have a slightly gold metallic effect so I used ribbon to add the slight colour to the cake. 

I decorated the cake with individual lace pieces, these were each made in a mould, cut out and stuck on to the cake.

Using pearl balls I added a little effect to the cake and finally I topped the cake with a peony. I managed to break this so it has now been replaced with a large blossom flower. 

I was really pleased with the effect of this cake and I hope it's bang on trend for the coming season. It'll be coming with me to my up coming wedding fairs.

Anniversary Cupcakes

I was asked to create some cupcakes for a 60th wedding anniversary. I was asked to make red and white roses and to use edible lace in the design. I drew up a few designs and after some discussions we agreed in 4 main designs and 3 different flavours. 

So I created 20 cupcakes which were flavoured lemon, chocolate and vanilla. 

Using edible lace mats I made up various designs and used these to decorate the cupcakes. I piped along the edges of some to add more definition. I had made the roses out of flower paste, this was more of a challenge than usual as they were so small but after a few practices I got it sorted. I made red and white roses. 

Those cakes with roses I piped in the opposite colour in a "birdcage" effect. 2 of the cupcakes I decorated with edible diamonds to represent the diamond anniversary. 

Vintage Cupcakes

I was pleased with how these cupcakes came out and I hope my customer enjoyed them. I believe they fit the brief. I'm pleased to have this order so I can show that I can make cupcakes too.
