A friend from the pre-school my children attend asked if I could make the wedding cake for her brother in law. She had originally planned to make the cake herself but as the wedding day approached, she started to panic so asked me for help to which I was really excited and more than happy to assist! We discussed the theme which was 'Spring time colours and flowers'. I came up with a few ideas and suggestions incorporating the colours of the bridesmaid's dresses and flowers then set off to work!
I started baking the vanilla sponges and filled with a thin layer of sieved strawberry jam and vanilla buttercream - then covered the cake with buttercream and left over night to chill in the fridge.
I then covered with a layer of white fondant before mixing the pale green and yellow. Once the cakes were covered in the base colours, I began adding the pink daisies then continued to work my way around the cakes adding various sizes and colours of flowers and leaves.
| For the finising touches, I piped yellow royal icing into the centre of every flower. |
