White Chocolate Wedding Cake
3 tier rich dark chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and mascarpone cream icing. the bottom and top tiers have a plain white chocolate collar while the middle tier has chocolate paste draping over the mascarpone creamm and chocolate paste roses. It is the first time I have used chocolate paste and it was such a lot of fun to make and use. I made the roses by hand (used no cutters) and really enjoyed it - although chocolate paste is not easy to work with for drapes as it solidifies so quickly.

Wedding Cake With Chocolate Lace Collars
Bottom tier - carrot cake with orange and roasted walnuts with mascarpone cream filling; 2nd tier lemon poppy seed cake with lemon curd filling; 3rd tier dark chocolate mousse cake; top tier lemon cake with lemon cheesecake filling. All tiers iced with chocolate ganache and each tier wrapped with a chocolate lace collar. Had fun doing this cake - the lace collars were so easy to do. The hardest part was transporting this cake as it had to be constructed first in order to do the collars - it arrived safely.

This cake I made for a very large wedding over the weekend - bottom tier fruitcake, 2nd tier carrot cake and top tier chocolate cake all with sugar paste icing, sparkly ribbon around the bottom and top tier bases and crystal florist pins around the second tier base. The wedding reception hall was magnificently decorated - they catered for 1000 guests and it looked like a movie set. The cake was just for show and for the family - don't think I could have coped making a cake big enough to feed 1000

Cindarella Slipper Wedding Cake
All 3 tiers are carrot cake with orange and pine nuts filled with mascarpone cream and covered in sugar paste icing. The bride wanted a Cindarella slipper as a topper which I made out of castor sugar and egg wgite in a chocolate mould. All other details are sugar paste.
