Carrot cake tier re-incarnated!

bottom tier reincarnated

Ben and Charlotte had a very small intimate wedding ceremony on Saturday for which they saved the bottom tier of their cake. A little judicious repositioning of the sugar roses and who would know it had been at the bottom of a four tier cake two days earlier? And the bonus – plenty of carrot cake to go round.

Wild rose and butterfly wedding cake

Ben and Charlotte had a lovely pre-wedding party in the surroundings of a stunning Tudor mansion. This pretty summer cake had four tiers of carrot cake, chocolate fudge cake, madeira cake and fruit cake decorated with sugar roses and little blue butterflies. Very many congratulations to a delightful young couple.

Golden Wedding party twice over.

wedding anniversary
Betty had baked her own fruit cake for her wedding anniversary.
She asked me to marzipan and ice it for her. 
She had made bunting and used yellow gerberas to decorate the venue which we echoed in the icing.
She then confessed she was having another 50 guests to a second party!
So I made a second cake and iced them identically. Congratulations Betty.
