Rockabilly Wedding Cake - Dublin Sugarcraft Guild Competition Cake 2016

My entry for the novelty wedding cake category. Three tiers of my new favourite style. Thrilled with my 'Commended' Cert.

I received the following as feedback from the judges.  "An interesting use of inlay work, love the dots and roses idea here. More care needed to be taken to get this spot on. Love the tattoo inspired banner but bear in mind that the back of the banner will be seen b y the wedding couple so that should be decorated too. A colourful piece with some interesting ideas."

"An eye catching exhibit. Some cracking and unevenness of paste on all tiers. Take care with construction of spots - some show gaps between cut out sections, but a nice idea. Cake topper is unfortunately rather heavy. Good use of roses but more care needed for their construction. Do try again, you have some interesting ideas."

Kim and Richard - Flamingo

This has become my absolute favourite style of wedding cake.  The Dessert Table. I love it, love the variety you can have with it.  Made to celebate Kim and Richards nuptuals in the Cliff Townhouse Hotel in Dublin the cakes are made up as follows:  One 7" chocolate cake in Tiffany Blue buttercream.  One 7" Lemon cake in Mint Green and a two tier (10" and 8") naked wedding cake, simply filled with homemade raspberry jam and vanilla buttercream.  We also made cookies for this wedding, lemon clouds, gingerbread and sugar cookies.
