The wedding cake

I was busy last week with the preperation of this beautiful wedding cake. I made this wedding cake as a favour for a sweet friend of mine. The original design is from kageKompagniet

I started making the sugar flowers and leaves. I made lots of 5-petals, petunias and small blossoms i various sizes. The colors was from white to three different shades of peach.

I used my favourite silicon veiner for the sugar flowers. I dusted the flowers with peach and cream lustre dust and I gave the leaves some green petal dust dissovled in clear alcohol so they got a bit shiny.

Then it was time to bake the three chocolate cakes. I must say that my new oven is now officially tested :-) We had a wonderful smell of chocolate in the house the rest of the day.

The next day when the cakes was cold and ready to level the fun started. Since I got my wonderful Agbay Cake Leveler it has been a joy to level my cakes. Before I knew it all three cakes was torted and ready to be filled.

I filled the cakes with raspberry and chocolate mouse and crumb coated them with vanilla buttercream. The cakes was covered with white rolled fondant and piped snail trails in royal icing. I stacked two of the cakes and used plastic dowels for extra support. The small tier was placed on cake pillars.

Then the only thing left was to attache the sugar flowers and leaves with royal icing. I must say that I was very satisfied with the cake and so was the happy couple :-)

Happy Caking

Louise

    Hi Louise!
    Everyone has said it! Your cake looks lovely, delicate and delicious.
    How do you do the chocolate filling? For how long does it last at room temperature? Thanks A lot for sharing your ideas and creations!

  11. # 11 Louise Says:

    Mari: when ever I make a filling that containg whipped cream, lots of danish cake fillings do so. I always use a stabilizer powder for whipped cream simply because it is important to me that the filling dont spoil the cake so it collapse.

    I use different stabilizers like raspberry, strawberry, chocolate, neutral and I always put in more of all the goodies like more fruit, chocolate ect. when a filling contains cream is is always more fragile than a buttercream filling or a cooked ganache. So depending on the weather and humidity I would not let a cake with cream stay out more than max. three hours. My cakes never last that long though….;-)

    Hello!!
    Really beautiful cake.

  13. # 13 jopalis Says:

    How do you avoid messing up the lower tier when you remove the top one? Maybe it is easier with fondant but other icings just come off and cake looks nasty to serve….. Thanks.

  14. # 14 jopalis Says:

    it is very lovely…. what are the stabilizers and where do you get them? Do you have recipes for fillings like that on your site? I love this site!!

  15. # 15 lisa Says:

    what a beautifully made cake! I look forward to the day when I can make them as beautiful as you do.
    Do you make your own fondant, and do you buy it already made?

  16. # 16 Tash Jeffery Says:

    What a beautiful creation!

  17. # 17 khadija Says:

    this is a lovely cake. you did a great job.

  18. # 18 Louise Says:

    jopalis: I dont think it is a problem to seperate cakes when they are covered with rolled fondant. Maybe with BC cakes?? I havent tried that yet.

    I buy my stabilizers from a shop only for people in the food buisiness.

    lisa: I use either ready made or MMF for my cakes.

    Thank you all.

    Hi Louise.
    The cake is beautiful.
    I have been following your blog for some time now.
    All your ideas are inspirational :) Thank you for sharing your recipes, tips, suppliers and ideas with us.
    It’s refreshing to find someone who wants to share exactly how to make the things that she does.
    Usually people want to keep things secret and guard their recipes.
    Thank you again, you make cake decorating easy as pie for novice decoraters like me.
    Lotsa luv.

    I am so happy I subscribed to this site. Your tips are wonderful. I’m new to the cake field and am trying to perfect my creations. I’ve been asked to do cakes for different occassions. Your tips will certainly be useful. I have been using the 1-2-3 Cake batter for my cakes because it’s firm, would you suggest another recipe for cakes. I will be purchasing the Agby Cake Leveler for myself. Your instruction are clear as well. Thanks a bunch.

  26. # 26 Louise Says:

    MSG142: What is the 1-2-3 recipe like?? I personally like mud cakes very much. They are perfect for carving.

    I can tell that you will love the Agbay it works like a dream.
