Since making my wedding cake, I have created cakes for two of my friends. The first was a last minute cake for my friend Tracy. She wanted a simple cake so I did one chocolate with cherry and chocolate buttercream and then a vanilla with vanilla buttercream. Both teirs were then covered with fondant and dressed with a diamanté ribbon. Tracy then displayed the cake with the wedding photos of her and her husbands parents also with beautiful flowers. I went to the evening do and when the cake was taken round the server was saying you have to try this cake as its one of the best she had tasted and she didn't know I was the baker, so was very flattered.
The other wedding cake was for my friend Becca. I agreed to do this cake before I slipped a disk and only managed to complete this cake with the help of my husband John. I always try and do something new on each cake and this time I created edible lace. The moulds were purchased of eBay, and then used Lakelands Magic icing and was easy to use. The cake had three tiers largest was fruit, then a chocolate cake as I created for Tracy and then the top tier was lemon with a lemon curd centre and a lemon buttercream. All tiers were covered with pink fondant and decorated with the edible lace, and flowers. I tried to make edible pearls but I couldn't get them to come out of the mould cleanly, so they are the only part of this cake that isn't edible. I will try the pearl mould when I am back on my feet again, determined it won't beat me. (I have a very stubborn side😃). I was gutted I was unable to attend her wedding due to my back problems, but she and her husband loved the cake.
My niece is getting married August next year and I have offered to make her cake, so searching through Pinterest for ideas, love the research part, got to be a natural or bohemian style, will keep you posted. If you wish to see some of the pins it is on my Pinterest under the board named Kirsty's wedding cake ideas.
