Ruth's 50Th Birthday Cake

Ruth's 50Th Birthday Cake on Cake Central

My neighbour Ruth remarked how she liked one of Collette Peters cakes when looking through one of her books, so I thought I would 'attempt' a 'CP-esque' cake for her birthday! I am FAR too nervous to attempt any carving or tilting of cakes yet so this is what she got!! Tiers: rich fruit, chocolate, white chocolate, & chocolate again on the top! Fondant covered with modelling paste decorations.

I was just looking at the SAME picture last night in Colette's book that this cake was based on thinking how I would love to do one.. Your version is wonderful!! Hopefully when I attempt it myself it will be just as good ;-)

I have been loving this Colette Peter's cake for a long time. You did such a great version of it. You give me courage to try some of these wonderfully fanciful flowers. Congrats on a great job!!!
