Cake Spotlight – Four tier wedding cake
This spotlight is more than spotlighting a cake it’s spotlighting a whole wedding! Cake friend Pam, who spent time last year helping to organise her oldest daughter’s wedding. Aside from organising, hosting and catering most of the wedding, Pam stretched herself even further by making the Wedding Cake as well!
The cake was dark chocolate mud cake with chocolate ganache (which is posted in the blog and forum’s recipe sections – very popular!) Pam says:
“My inspiration was the wedding dress, but because I was doing so much for the rest of the wedding I needed a design that did not require copious amounts of time and effort…. I feel the top tier (which was two round polystyrene dummies, glued together, carved to shape and then sanded smooth) was not quite correct in proportion to the rest of the cake, it really was a little bit big.”
I say Pam, we are our own worst enemies and I think that seeing the Photo of month is based on views by others that not everyone agrees with you! :mrgreen:
Pam made the buttons using a Daisy centre mould and also hand made the pearls. Keep your eyes peeled as next week we will post the tutorial with pictures showing her process for making the pearls!
