Cyclamen & Ivory Hexagons
6, 9 & 12in hexagonal cakes covered in cyclamen fondant and decorated with lustre painted ivory royal icing pearls and ribbons. Top & bottom tiers were chocolate cake with coffee buttercream and middle tier was vanilla cake with Bailey's Irish Cream infused dark chocolate ganache. Survived a 2 hour journey in 80 degree heat (thank goodness!). Based on Mich Turner's Vanity Fair design.
BEAUTIFUL ~ FANTASTIC ~ FABULOUS ~all that work ~ WOW ! ! ! !
I do love how simple it is. So pretty!! :)
What an amazing cake!! You did a spectacular job!!! :D
It is so beautiful!
Stunning!
Thank you everyone! Whilst this cake looks a simple design - it was a lot more work than I had bargained for! It took me 2 1/2 hours to pipe all the pearls on and my hand went into spasm several times! The following day it took me about 1 1/2 hours to paint all the pearls with lustre, and my hand, still sore from the night before, went dead 3 times! My bride and groom were over the moon about the cake though - so it made up for the pain!
stunning, the end result so worth all your hard work!
Absolutely breathtaking! Your hardwork really shows!
