3 Tier exquisite hand piped wedding cake

  • Posted on October 10, 2009 at 11:21 pm

This is a truly exquisite wedding cake, really elegant and classic, yet with a modern twist.

I was inspired by the intricate beading patterns on the bride’s beautiful dress, scaled them to fit the cake design, traced them carefully onto the cake and then hand piped over them, using fine brush work to make them look as authentic as possible.

The hand arranged roses were lifted by loops of teal ribbon to match the couple’s colour theme.  The cake looked absolutely stunning and was much admired by everyone.

The ship is made from fruit cake, iced and designed to show the glorious billowing sails and full rigging in gold.  A model of the bride becomes the figurehead and the pirate is modeled on the groom.  The couple chose the name of the ship and we developed their idea from paper to a glorious and delicious wedding cake for their big day.
