One of my hobbies is decorating cakes for occasions. Last weekend I had the opportunity to create a wedding cake for a wedding party I had on this weeks Monday.
The plan
First I made a plan and drawing of what i wanted to create
This is what the cake should going to look like. I went to the store and bought what I needed. Rolling fondant, color paste and something really awesome: edible sparkle powder.(I skipped the roses. Would be to much)
The process
 |
| making Royal icing |
 |
| create pink fondant with color paste |
 |
| the butterflies in the cardboard mall. They have to dry before putting them on the cake |
 |
| strawberry marmalade on the cake, on top there will be custard |
The result
Because I was so busy with putting those little balls an butterflies on the cake, I totally forgot to take pictures during the actual decorating.
 |
| There it is the result. the names are made of chocolate |
 |
| sparkles on the wings of the butterflies |
 |
| here you see the sparkles very clearly |
 |
| In the cake box |
Decorating a cake takes actually more time then just baking one but it is absolutely worth it. I'm really proud on myself and the cake.
