Upright BEVERLEY WAY COLLECTION dimensional beauty. Cakes are fondant covered 4" high rounds adorned with white royal icing floodwork panels. Piped panel detail consists of white royal icing beading, navy royal icing beading and inner navy royal icing scrolls. Panels add notable weight to each cake, therefore very strong wooden cake boards are recommended. Cake stands and separators must also be ultra sturdy and sound. Once amply glued with royal icing at their seams, the floodwork panels will adhere tightly to each other when fully dried, making transport of each layer to the venue quite uncomplicated.
Tall and stately design from The Beverley Way Collection. Cakes are fondant covered and adorned with hand piped dimensional curved royal icing side pieces and hand piped royal icing roses. Additional detail includes metallic party ribbon, fabric lace, string pearls and fresh or silk roses. This cake is a lovely play of shadows and is beautiful uplit or bathed in candlelight. This design is pattern 49C from The Beverley Way Collection.
Simple yet very elegant. This Beverley Way Collection concept is covered in cream colored fondant and adorned with hand piped dimensional black royal icing lace. The icing lace creation involves only two or three common icing tips and very simple piping. Enjoy!
A touch of old, and a touch of new. This romantic four-tiered Beverley Way Collection design is shown in two tones. Each cake is covered in pure white fondant and decorated with pastel aqua-colored decorative dried fondant extensions. These curved extensions may be alternatively composed of colored pastillage which will dry very hard if transportation/venue circumstances require a more rigid exterior. The extension strips are pre-dried over a curved surface, then attached to each cake side. Royal icing bead detail is applied between each extension piece for additional adhesive strength and to complete the decorative woven appearance. A silk flower topper is intentionally placed slightly off-center for a soft chic touch. This four-tiered cake design is a wonderful play with shadows which change with angles of ambient light. Enjoy!
A true show stopper. This Beverley Way Collection design is quite universal in that it will add additional wow factor to an unending portfolio of reception setting decors. The concept is shown here in white, but take a few blissful moments to imagine the design in two tones of pastel rose, tones of caramel and chocolate, or tones of airy minty winter blues. Endless possibilities to ponder … Each cake tier is heart shaped and fondant covered, however the lace pieces can be conveniently placed on numerous cake shapes and sides. The dimensional lace is hand piped utilizing a template and creation of each piece moves quite quickly once you become familiar with the simplified “flow” of the piped design. Simple hand piped flowerettes add delicate detail between the individual lace pieces. Enjoy!
This Beverley Way Collection design presents four elegant fondant covered stacked oval cakes. Lacey hand piped royal icing has been applied to the exposed surface of each tier using the Cornelli icing technique. The hand piped beaded scroll pattern increases in width down the front of the cake, increasing with each larger tier. String beads have been applied to royal icing beading to create each scroll, and to accent the transition between tiers. Paper templates were utilized to mark each scroll onto the cake sides. This design changes remarkably in personality with variations in icing colors, combinations and topper decor. It is extremely durable for transport as a whole, but will require assistance when lifting as four large layers of any type of cake will be heavy. Enjoy!
Tall, stately, fine and detailed. This design is composed of five hexagon shaped cakes in descending sizes. Each cake side is adorned with sheer decorative ribbon and satin trimming. Hand piped royal icing lace provides a delicate detail to the design. Each lace piece allows light to pass through, providing a "lightness" or "openness" to the concept. The lace pieces are relatively quick to hand pipe and will dry in average conditions within twelve hours. In dry conditions, they may be ready for handling within a few hours. Enjoy!
Almost old-world in detail, this Beverley Way Collection design brings to mind jeweled hair combs, draping jewels and detailed silk dinner dresses. This concept is composed of three stacked heart shaped cakes covered in fondant with the top and lower tiers draped with elegant fondant swags. The cakes are further decorated with colored fabric ribbon and detailed fabric lace. The ribbon and lace can be icing if desired. The floral arrangements are composed of silk roses and baby's breath but could certainly be composed of handmade icing flowers. Placed on a very strong decorated wooden display board, this cake is a pleasure to transport.
Decorated in two tones, this cake emanates a dimensional delicate “openness” and “lightness”. Each cake is covered in lavender colored fondant and embellished with half circle pastillage extensions. The extension edges are accented with royal icing piped bead detail. This design would present well for a great number of themes and settings.
A signature Beverley Way Collection design. Stands very tall and upright. Layers are comprised of four fondant covered hexagon layers with piped royal icing bead detail and three fondant covered round layers with pastillage extensions. Extensions are further embellished with piped royal icing lattice-like crosswork. The piped crosswork on the extensions provides additional structural support along with its aesthetic qualities. Fabric lace detail accents the base of each cake. Flowers can be silk or icing. This was a pleasure to create!
This design shimmers and sparkles. One solitary round cake of this design, a beautiful crystal stand, and a beautiful draping tablecloth would be suitable for gracing a small wedding or affair. Seven of the ten cakes for this idea are covered in caramel colored fondant and three cakes are covered in black fondant. Each tiered cake is a 4"H oval, and the surrounding accent table cakes are 4"H rounds. The pleated flowers are dried fondant. Centers are wired gold beading but these centers can be substituted with a number of artistic dimensional and edible methods. Small white minilights create a soft sparkle between each tiered layer. Enjoy!
This cake is fondant covered. All of the icing extensions are hand piped royal icing using a template and wax paper.
Pink springtime cake with gladioli and scalloped lace icing. Lace is hand piped royal icing.
I did this cake for some good friends in Toronto. There's quite a story behind it which is quite lengthy so I won't add it here. The main points to the cake are that it has over 700 handcrafted royal icing roses, the bottom three tiers are real, the top 2 tiers were dummies, and the cake was a white velvet butter cake with smooth lemon butter icing filling between layers. The filling contained finely grated fresh lemon peel and the cake was covered with pure white lemon flavored fondant. I hope you like it!
I made this cake as a little different spin on the traditional birdcage cake. Here the cake is inside the birdcage, and the birds are outside enjoying their freedom! The cage panels are made from piped and run-out icing. The cake inside is a simple pink fondant covered round cake. Enjoy!
This cake has a Christmas-y feel to it. This is a basic oval fondant covered cake embellished with an ornate, run-out icing cake collar.
I have shown this cake on a number of sites this week so for those of you that have already seen it elsewhere and may be tired of seeing it, sorry lol! This cake was one of the first major cakes I attempted and it was for a close family member's wedding a number of years ago. The wedding was in January but with the color scheme and the snowflake motif, it makes for a nice winter/Christmas style cake too, I think. The snowflakes were hand piped and then attached to the orange-flavored fondant covered cakes.
The pink royal icing lace was designed to pick up the colors and texture of the surrounding table cloth and match the colors of the wedding. The cakes are fondant covered.
