Brown Ribbon Wedding Cake
This cake was made for a wedding to match an ivory and chocolate brown colour scheme.
The bottom tier was a round 10 inch cake with overlapped sections of ivory fondant. I measured the circumference of the cake and divided it into inch wide sections.

Miniature Wedding Cake
I entered this miniature wedding cake in the annual Squires Kitchen Exhibition Competition.
There was a lot of trial and error involved with this cake, mainly because of the free standing collar around the cake. I originally wanted it to be constructed from the ribbons used on the top tier of the cake. Because the ribbons were thin there were a lot of weak points in the collar and it broke. … continue reading ‘Miniature Wedding Cake’

Roses and Ribbon Birthday Cake
This cake was made for a 50th birthday celebration. It is designed to resemble a bunch of flowers wrapped and tied with a bow.

Green Polka Dot Wedding Cake
My client was very clear on the colour and kind of look she wanted for her wedding cake.
The cake contained both edible and dummy tiers so that the bride and groom had the right number of portions for their guests and the style of cake they wanted.
I created tiers in various depths to add interest to the cake design. I began by covering the tiers in marzipan and/or fondant depending on whether the tier in question was edible or a dummy. … continue reading ‘Green Polka Dot Wedding Cake’
Ribbon and Floral Wedding Cake
This wedding cake was a combination of tiers of fruit cake and chocolate cherry cake. I began by coating each tier in marzipan and white fondant icing. I used chocolate marzipan for the chocolate cherry cakes.
I then made around 80 small orchids to sit at the bottom and top of the cake. I did not want to put orchids on every tier because I felt this would detract from the ribbons which was a central part of the design. … continue reading ‘Ribbon and Floral Wedding Cake’
