I was honoured to be invited to be a part of a wedding cake collaboration at the Alexandra Palace in London in April 2017. The live collaboration was called "Wedding Gowns Through the Ages", for Cakes International. All the artists submitted incredible wedding fashion wedding cakes from different decades. This was mine. I chose the puffy sleeves, lace and bows that were prevelant in the 90's Royal iced with base hand painted in cocoa butter. Cake lace used on upper tier. Mid tier extensions made from sugar paste and filigree is piped in Royal icing. Bows are sugar paste with cake lace. Lilies and roses are platinum gum paste.
