This was a special cake as it was made as a present. I had never baked 14"12"10"8" cakes before so learnt so much in preparation for doing these. Top tier 1 -5" fruitcake made with no Alcohol Tier 2 was 8" Morello Cherry and vanilla sponge cake Tier 3 was 12"Chocolate Sponge cake with chocolate buttercream and caramel filling Tier 4 was 14"a Rose Petal Jelly and vanilla sponge cake I also made a 10" Lemon sponge cake with lemon curd and lemon buttercream but removed this from the tiers as after decorating it looked like the leaning tower of Pisa..im such a perfectionist... 4 out of 5 successful tiers is not bad for a first go:-). However it was still used as a cutting cake, looked great and uniform when cut and tasted delicious. Sugarveil was used as the bride wanted lace. I have lots of expensive lace moulds and have been taught to hand pipe lace (haven't mastered that yet) but Sugarveil was the best solution for the lace effect. https://www.facebook.com/GoofyDUC?ref=hl
