Wedding Cake




This is the top layer of a wedding cake I am making. It is a fruit cake, the other two layers are still to come as they are chocolate and lemon they have to made nearer the time, still 3 weeks to go.  So in-between working I have been working on the icing decorations. I think I have the top sorted now with the main decoration in place and then can work on the petal placement later. I've just put them on to get an idea of what it might look like.


And it all started out as humble ready to roll icing, these are the beginnings of making the roses and petals.

Flowers- Centre pieces



So.... Haven't blogged for a while, apologies for that. I have been spending my time wisely though...well most of it.   I have been working on some centre pieces for a wedding and making the wedding cake.  I have yet to find something to put them in. Thinking glass bowls.  These are hand-tied using silk flowers, a mix of peach and white roses with some tiny white berries and grass. I have made two so far and have four to go, as it is one for each of the tables.
