My First Wedding Cake

My friend asked me to make her wedding cake. She wanted three layers of chocolate cake for her 150 guests and a rich fruit cake on the top for herself.

The largest cake is 12 inches, the next layer 10 inches, the third layer 8 inches. They are all four inches high chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream filling and chocolate ganache and covered with icing. The top layer of fruit cake was 6 inches covered with marzipan and icing. I decorated the cake with aqua coloured butterflies and fondant figures of the bride and groom and their two children.

Two New Birthday Cakes

I was given just a day's notice to make these two cakes but I'm happy with the results.

First up was the Spiderman cake, I've had practice with this one. I wasn't one hundred percent happy with the shape but the cake was bigger than before and I'm happier with the icing.

The second cake was One Direction. I'd have liked some more time to design this but the recipient was really happy with what I came up with.
