Golden wedding lace and freesias

Another golden wedding anniversary. Trevor and Alyson chose a lovely rich fruit cake soaked in brandy and covered in traditional marzipan and icing. 50 years ago, Alyson had a lace dress and carried a bouquet of multi coloured freesias so I tried to replicate that in sugar on the cake. Great party as well. Happy Anniversary you two.

Freesia cake

Ann’s mum’s favourite flowers are freesias so what better than a spray of sugar freesias on her lemon layer birthday cake. This 10″ sponge filled with fresh lemon curd and finished with a pretty pale green sugar ribbon and piping was more than enough to feed 25 people. Hope you weekend went well everyone.

Golden Wedding

To celebrate 50 years of marriage, Liz and Richard held a lovely party at South Lawns Hotel. They chose a lemon layer cake, iced in a design they saw on this website with a big sugar bow and a sugar bouquet of freesias and gypsophila which are the flowers Liz carried on her wedding day.
