LEIGH & JOSEPHINES WINTER WEDDING CAKE

This is just part of a Wedding order for two lovely clients,
Leigh & Josephine.
A very appropriate theme for the current weather I think!
The order was for a 3 tier (stacked) cake
and matching cupcakes,
but as this was to be collected and taken all the way up to Leeds
I sent the cake as three separate tiers
so it could be put together and set up at the venue
by the very helpful head chef and caterers.
Unfortunately I haven't got any photos of
the set-up as yet, but hopefully have some soon.
The above photos show the top tier of the cake
which is covered in white fondant,
with some embossing on the front side,
which is highlighted with painted white/pearl lustre,
various sized sugar snowflakes (covered with magic sparkles)
and royal icing piped dots.
The cupcakes have half covered with embossing and highlighted
and the other half, plain with the snowflakes.
flavours of cakes were:
Top tier: Chocolate sponge with chocolate ganache
Middle tier: Chocolate/orange sponge with choc/orange ganache
Bottom tier: Zesty lemon sponge with lemon buttercream
Cupcakes: Chocolate sponge with chocolate/orange ganache.
