Ivy Wedding Cake

This three tier wedding cake was unusal... well I thought it was!

It was a fruit cake, covered with marzipan and icing and where the pillars normally go, I put a band of cardboard around the supports and covered it with beautiful organza gold ribbon.

The very plain cake was decorated around the sides with a simple narrow gold ribbon.

The top tier had full size gold candles with a cascade of gold dusted ivy trailing down the cake.

The Grooms Birthday Cake

The Groom had his birthday on the day of his wedding.

Not being keen on fruit cake, which the wedding cake was, it was decided that he could have his very own chocolate sponge cake.... it was his birthday after all !!!!!

Helen's Wedding Cake

This is an oval three tier wedding cake I made for the daughter of someone at Church.

It is a fruit cake covered in marzipan and Regalice and I bought a reel of pre-embossed icing bands to wrap around the cake to create an interesting different look to this cake.

Of course today you can buy rolling pins that have patterns on them so you can make your own embossed band, but I had not seen anything like that prior to making this cake.

Nina & Graham's Wedding Card

This is a family tree wedding card which I made with the help of a friend Val. Her computer programme was so good for positioning the photo's accurately on the page.

Kate & Al's Wedding Cake

This was the first time I had ever made a 'topsy turvy' cake.

It was a three tier fruit cake covered in marzipan and Regalice, with a double ribbon around the outside edge of the cakes.

The roses I made out of icing that hardens.

Nina & Graham's Wedding Cake

This cake was designed by my daughter and made by me for her wedding.

I did however put on one detail she did not ask for... the stylised initials they used on their wedding invitations.

These initials were made using teal diamante. Of course I had to give a warning about removing them thoroughly before cutting up the cake.

It was easier to get this deep teal colour than I thought it would be.  I bought Regalice that was already coloured royal blue and then added a lot of teal coloured powdered food colouring and fortunately it worked.
