Cake for summer garden wedding

Felicity and Chris
Four-tier wedding cake: tier 1 & 4 rich fruit cake, tier 2 & 3 moist ginger cake. Decorated in cream sugar paste with piped bunting motif and hand-crafted sugar flowers (white freesias, purple anemones, and pink rosebuds).

This cake was designed to reflect the garden party theme of this wedding, which was held in a National Trust garden in Scotland in August 2014.

The bride and bridesmaid carried bouquets of assorted garden flowers and the marquee was festooned with handmade bunting in shades of purple and green.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa

F leaning tower of pisa
A tower of rich fruit cake, piped to resemble the iconic Italian landmark.

This groom proposed to his bride at the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and they wanted a cake to remind them of this on their big day.

With a bit of clever engineering, and creative icing, this four-tiered fruitcake wowed the guests with its gravity-defying tilt.
