No big deal really - just a three tier cake and cakes for the mother-of-the-bride and mother-of-the-groom (as is done for Zulu weddings) that I had one afternoon to rustle up!
Princess, who works for me, had asked me to make her wedding cake - and I couldn't very well refuse! She's such a sweetheart, and does so much for us - always with a big smile.
But I literally dashed home from the hospital on the only day that I had a gap to make it and worked for 9 hours to get it done. Haibo!
Thankfully it was all vanilla sponge. Her colours were purple and white.
The bottom tier was covered in buttercream rosettes, and the top two with fondant and edible lace.
If you've battled with lace before, try this homemade recipe... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVLgSfe92jY It's not as liquid as the pre-mixes, but works really well in all weather conditions - which is important right now in this misty cloud we're living in!
The great thing about edible lace is that you can make it in advance, and store until needed. I hadn't made it in advance (of course not - why make life easier for myself?!)
But if you use the recipe above, you can have lace ready in a matter of minutes.
All in a day's work ;o)
Happy decorating!
