I’m so proud of this cake! My sister requested that I make her cake for her wedding and at first I was very apprehensive. I didn’t want the pressure of creating the perfect cake for the perfect day, to be seen and eaten by over 100 people! My sister, however, said ‘I don’t mind what you do, you have complete artistic license on this one!’ that took the pressure off… a little. I still discussed my plans with my sister and she guided the colour and the flower choice but she really trusted me with the rest.
Vintage theme wedding cake
The cakes were chocolate mud on the bottom, the top was white chocolate and lime while the middle layer was dark chocolate and orange. Each layer was amazing, guests had trouble choosing which layer to taste (some tried all three). The icing was buttercream and I had to make the colour myself by adding green to sky blue colouring.
The top layer of the cake was covered in fondant and then real gold leaf (yes it is edible) was applied. This was tricky and expensive but well worth the final look!

I cant wait to do another wedding cake, or maybe I will start making an ‘anniversary’ cakes for everyone I know!
Check out the cake my daughter made for all the kids at the wedding. She made the whole thing herself.
