This cake was made for a young Botswana couple, who had requested a square shaped wedding cake with specific electric green shade to match the bridal marriage theme with few red roses and ivy leaves and a simple floral royal icing design on the three tiers. The cakes are all fruit cakes, which were matured over time and this is my first square shaped wedding cake. I found it difficult than round cakes, especially with maintaining the straight contours and how to avoid the clutter effect of the designs and to have a pleasant visual impact. My friend Christine and I worked on the cakes and the couple were fairly happy with our work. The week had been busy with several birthday cakes and ensuing week will follow with another wedding cake. Will soon post the cakes in my further posts. I hope you all like this cake !
This three-tier wedding cake was made during the last week of August for the Botswana bride and groom, whose wedding theme included the colours of pink and white. Roses, i have seen, are almost always the choice for the new couple and here i was, making this cake. The fruit cakes were matured in brandy and after the roses and blossom flowers were made, i sat down with my friend Christine on a late evening to decorate the cakes. We worked over the night to give the finishing touches and then finally sank on the couch at 4 a.m. to relax over coffee.
