Christening Cake

This was for a combined Christening and Dad's 40th birthday celebration. They had a green colour scheme which perfectly matched their party decorations and invitation.

The middle tier was decorated using a baby stamp set, and painted with luster dust to highlight. The bottom tier was decorated with a mixture of plain and textured strips. A special thank you to Vera Figueredo for letting me 'borrow' her 'ball on string' design. a>

Bottom and top tiers are choc mud cakes and middle tier is white choc mud. Sizes 7,9,11. This was a very heavy cake. Lucky it survived the 45 min trip to the reception.
