Cake Anyone?

Just a quickie today. I've been on a Wedding theme lately so I thought I'd round it off by sharing the last Wedding cake I decorated back in May.

This lady asked for chocolate and cream with a love heart and crystal spray. She wanted the sitting bride and groom as well and my modelling skills are very limited so I bought these clay dough figures and then added a few personal touches like the grooms tie and the colour of the flowers.


Thanks for stopping by and I hope your weekend is going well so far. The forecast rain has not arrived here so for once we've been lucky with the weather and spent most of the weekend in the garden chopping down a conifer that had grown too large for our fairly small garden. I've now retreated inside for a rest and some gentle crafting!!

More Cakey Creations

Hasn't the weather been lovely today. Oh I hope this is summer coming back.

Well I have lots of crafty things on the go but nothing finished to show you, I think it's a case of spending too much time in the garden again!!!

Anyway, while I was browsing today I saw a lovely cake some clever lady had made for her Gran. She'd made roses out of fondant icing following an online demonstration and this made me smile because I spent weeks at night school learning how to make sugar flowers some years ago and it just goes to show what you can learn online nowadays without having to leave the house. Although I did enjoy the social side of going to a class, it was great fun and I learnt lots of other things.

This reminded me that I hadn't shown any more of the wedding cakes I have made over the years and so I thought I'd share one of my favourites.

This one was made for the sister of a lady I'd made a cake for the year before. Her colour scheme was coffee and cream and it was a real joy. She brought me a picture of the design she wanted which was in blues so we changed the colours to suit.

The roses were made out of sugar paste and arranged with cream feathers and some curls of very fine gold craft wire. Each tier then had lots of little balls piped and gold dragee balls attached around the sides.

It was such a lovely cake to make and I think it's my favourite because the colours were so different from the usual pinks and whites.
