It is official I love this cake!
With the summer wedding season in “full bloom” I thought it would be apropos to share this elegant wedding cake. Completely decorated using royal icing techniques: Combining delicate oriental string work, brush embroidery and piping gel filigree takes this from nice to extraordinary!
Very rarely do I fall in love with
a cake I have designed, but this one will be added to my
favorite list!

I brushed a mixture of petal dusts to achieve that antique blush
pink colour for the cake.
Remember to attach the cake board and pipe the border prior to decorating your cake!

What a beautiful cake! I can’t even dream about being able to pipe like that!
Thank you Martha! My daughter thought she would not be able to pipe a similar cake, however after practicing she piped a superb sugar art cake!
guess you have to be artistic
Such a great job! Wow! How is it possible to deliver such delicate cakes? As far as I know, the string work is pretty tricky for any kind of movements. How do you do it? Thank’s.
Thank you, Irina! I package the cake on foam in a box, and have another person hold the box. As long as the string work does not touch the sides of the box they will not break. Also I only deliver cakes locally.
