WEDDING CAKE - IVORY AND DUSKY PINKS

FOR VICTORIA & GRAEME


Just over a week ago, i had the joy and excitement of travelling to Melbourne to deliver a very special Cake....    Yes, my dear friend Marjorie asked me to make her beautiful Daughters Wedding Cake.....and so the preperation began....

The fruit soaking in Brandy (for 9 weeks) was ready to be baked into the two tiers required.

After letting the cakes mature for 5 weeks - both tiers were then covered in Ivory Fondant.

Flowers for the top tier were made - and carefully placed - securing with sugar glue as i knew they would be safe for the plane trip ahead.
Tiers were stacked and final decorations were put in place once the Cake and i were in Melbourne -

Victoria & Graemes Reception was held at the Provincal Hotel - upstairs in the Salon Room... just outside of Melbourne CBD....a function room described as.... ornate, old world and Parisienne in style.

After delivering the Cake, i stepped back and looked around - such pretty flowers adorned the room - an old world charm with warmth and gentleness i thought....lovely polished wooden floors and huge mirrors which gave the room such an air of grace.... and again - that ornate appeal.

Below i have posted photos from the "starting to decorate the cake - through to photos of the reception room"...and all its charm.




Whilst beginning to decorate the top tier - the sunlight caught a crystal i have hanging and i couldn't resist but take pohotos of how the beautiful roses changed colour with every flutter of the prisims....
