This was wedding and cake was originally meant for Noosa. The black and white theme meant I could have a bit more of a play with the design concept for the cake than the others.
I was finally able to use some of the techniques I had been dying to use, cake crack, new molds, double tier extension decorating and hand making toppers.
And of course, making anemones flowers - these are my favourite flowers to make (which reminds me, I need to get that tutorial completed!
I drew inspirtation from various cakes on PinInterest including the awesome Kara! This all helped me pull togehter this show stopping cake!
I tested out Cake Crack on white and black fondant. Discovered the black turned it green (which I actually like but not for this cake).
This cake was for a couple of days later, so I didn't get to go onsite and delivered it on the Saturday instead in over 40 degree heat! I should mention the importance of internal structures for large cakes and especially in hot weather!!! Life savers!!! I was literally peeing my panties until the head of the Art team sent me a photo on site to say it all went swimmingly! Phew!!
Watching the wedding on Channel Nine was awesome, so many shots of the cake, hubby kept calling out, "there's your cake", "There's the cake" and "There's the cake again.." He must have said it 10 times - well worth it as it looked amazing on the big screen!
