A Midsummer Night's Dream

This was one of my biggest challenges yet. I was given a completely free hand in the design of this cake, after being given quantity of people and theme of wedding. The bride who lived in London sent me a picture of an idea and then it was up to me.

We then communicated by post and e-mail only meeting, when I delivered the cake the day before the wedding!

Although the cake looks as though there were five tiers only two were actually cake, one fruit and one chocolate, due to the number of guests. I advised on the 'dummy' layers (knowing the size of the barn at Leiston) so that the cake would not disappear into the surroundings.

The theme was 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' so fairies, butterflies, blossoms, stars, moonlight, forests etc were all the things I tried to incorporate into the design.
Everything apart from the grass around the base were made from sugar and the stars around the base of the moon.

My worst nightmare was transporting the cake and fairies from Norfolk to Leiston but thanks to two friends who held the fairies in their boxes all the way we arrived safely and with everything intact.

It was then that I met both the bride and groom who were delighted with the cake.

We are all waiting for the final accolade, the wedding is due to appear in Brides magazine.
