This is a cake I completed at a Planet Cake course held in Melbourne – a 2 tier wedding cake which features a spectacular magnolia and bamboo stems. Skills covered in this course included covering a square cake with rolled fondant, stacking the cakes, the coloured wrap,and making the flower and bamboo.
Everyone experimented with their colours in making the wrap around detail and as you can see we had a fantastic result from all the students!
From start to finish this job was an absolute pleasure … my client liked what I had done with the China Doll, so I adapted the flowers to suit a pink christening cake for a gorgeous little girl. This design was based on a beautiful invitation which featured birds and a featured hand written message on the front.
The dove was made from modelling paste. I didn’t quite know what to expect with the figurine as I haven’t made anything as large as this for a topper. I made it well ahead of time so it had plenty of time to dry. I did have visions of wings falling off but tried to push them out of my mind!!
