    Four tier home made very alcoholic fruit cake square!

    Probably going for plain white icing with piped on details to look like lace or broderie anglaise with the tiffany / jade green ribbon to contrast and my cakew topper on top...

    H2B and I have been toying with the idea of getting a despicable me sponge cake...more for the children and those who don't like sponge...and to be a bit silly...but not for general display if that makes sense?! Probably sweet table type thing!

    Having this but in ivory and red to match our colour scheme, 8 different flavours including, white chocolate and raspberry, chocolate fudge, cherry bake well, chocolate orange and 8 different designs on the cup cakes. With fresh flowers and fairly lights round the base and a big cake on top. This is our biggest extravagance but its so exciting, can't wait to se the real thing

    This was our cake.
    Simple but beautiful.

    Our Wedding Cake
    Our Wedding Cake


    Had the Disney incorporated with subtle dots so to most it was just simple detailing, but up close you could see what it truly was!
    Flowers were sugar crafted so still got them, and matched my bouquet.

    Top layer was White chocolate with white chocolate chunks and white chocolate buttercream.
    Middle layer was dark and white fudge with fudge pieces, vanilla buttercream and fudge shavings.
    Bottom layer was sticky toffee with toffee pieces, vanilla buttercream and toffee sauce.

    MIL is making a square, three tier cake. All layers are fruit cake with brandy (like Christmas cake) and iced white. Along the edges it will be piped with white icing with purple ribbon. My flower maker made a cake topper which is a string of flowers that trail down the cake with flowers similar to the button holes to be scattered across it. She is also making a plain sponge cake for guests who prefer to have sponge than fruit cake.

    I have no idea of what my cake will look like, my H2B and his friends (who are bakers) are making it for us. All I know that it is 3 tiers and one tier is chocolate, one is lemon and one is fruit. Only one more week to wait until I see it. so excited.

    I have a photo of my cake in my album "the big day", but I can't put photos on the forum..... so if anyone wants to have a look.
    Each layer was a different colour and 2 of those layers were decorated with gold paisley design.
    Top layer was lemon gluten free
    Green and blue layers were chocolate sponge, with a orange buttercream
    Red layer was vanilla sponge with a lemon buttercream.

    I was told that the cake was delicious (I never got a chance to try it!).

    Why not model the cake on your dress?

    I'm having the lace of my dress made in to sugar icing lace... and I have found the exact brooch on my dress on ebay which I'm going to use at the point where I join the ribbon.... which will match that of the ribbon bow on my dress!

    My OH has seen a brownie tower cake and is obsessed with the idea. It looks like the leaning tower of brownie with some flowers to match colour scheme chucked on. I think it's great but can't find anywhere local to make it and wonder about how messy it'll look when it's cut x

    He is very much a part of the planning Valentina, which I love. I love that he is wanting to be involved, seeing as it is day too lol The flowers that are on the cake will be ones that are in our flower scheme so it will tie it together hat way :)
    I will put a pic on my album, the flowers on it obviously aren't the ones we are having :)... well not all of them x

    He has been really weird throughout with planning... one minute he's like oh I want it this way, then I give it time, present a few options and he says I can choose! Hahaha!

    Well its my friend who is making them all and she had the idea of having some flowers on the cake and have them going down the side of the cake and then using the flower cupcakes to carry it on. (Does that make sense I find it hard to explain).

Great price to, Got it at like half the price i was being quoted by other cake makers and it includes a very large wooden wishing well(postbox) for £10 hire, so i saved £55 on that as we was looking to pay £65 for our postbox with another company.
