Castle Cake
Made for my grandaughter's 6th birthday today. Cake is 2 tiered round madeira. The towers are Wilton and the turret tops, door and top tower are moulded from pastilage embossed with a cobblestone detail and dusted with shimmer dust. The butterflies and blossoms are cut from modelling paste. The board is iced with sugarpaste and then I made the polka dot effect by cutting out circles and replacing them with lilac circles cut from paste. Board is edged with 2 ribbons.

Unusual Shaped 3 Tier Long Octagonal Cake
I had a request from the bride for a long octagonal cake with a scoop inwards on the long front side so my husband had to make a shape to fit the 3 tins out of clay to make this shape of cake whilst it was cooking. It was decorated in pale peach sugarpaste with frills around the edges and ribbons were inserted along the top frill of each tier. The flowers matched the bride's bouquet in the peach and cream theme. The boards were iced and matching ribbon placed along the edges.
