I had the honour of decorating my sister's wedding cake earlier this month! I made over 50 of these delicate little flowers which were randomly positionned on all three tiers of the classic fruit cake. I thought the overall effect was pretty professional, and it certainly went down a treat with the guests! One day I'll do the whole lot - bake the cake(s), ice them and decorate them....
These cakes were made for my friend, and fellow singer, Nikki's birthday. Nikki, who sings with me in the Fairhaven Singers (http://www.fairhavensingers.org.uk/) was one of the three 'winning' bidders at the choir's auction of promises. Happy birthday for tomorrow, Nikki!
Tragically, I broke yet *another* handmixer whilst making these. What is it with me and these devices?! At this rate, I'm getting through four per year!!
I've entered these cupcakes into a competition. Keep everything croseed for me, won't you? If my cakes win the cupcake category I get £100 to spend online at a specialist cake-craft store. That would cover the cost of a new handmixer at least :)
