Ooh well done! you have done a fab job, you should be very proud of yourself xx

Thank you. I've never used sugerpaste before, but really happy how it turned out.

Oooh I like :-) well done. I have made two of my friends wedding cakes in the past and i know how tricky the sugar roses are to make!!

It looks amazing, very talented x

ace, u need to find kellies thread on here , her cake diary!

Wow that looks fab. Well done.

Yep I'll be able to do the roses in advance, although I have booked a day off work just to make and decorate the cake which should be plenty of time. I'm just trying to find somewhere cheaper to buy the sugarpaste from. The 100g of burgundy sugerpaste used to decorate this cake cost me £3.95.

My local market was the first place I checked, I'd much prefer buying it in person than ordering online, just to make sure that the colour was right, but there's only a small section on one of the stalls and they don't seem to do it.

Well done kirky, it looks good! Xx

Thank you, I was really happy with the way it looked. Not that I got to look at it long, it was all eaten in a matter of hours.

This one was a raspberry and white chocolate sponge with white chocolate butter cream. On the real cake that will be the middle tier, with lemon for the top tier and double chocolate bottom tier.

Oh. Yum.

Yum yum yum yum yum yum you are all making me hungry....

Well done, it looks lovely x x

Thank you. Now my next task is figuring out how I'm going to tier it.

There will be 3 tiers. I've bought some pillars, which would be the easier transport option; as the cake could be transported unassembled. But I will be delivering the cake the day before and it will need to be moved from where it will be kept over night to were it will go on the day. Which would mean that the staff at the venue will need to stack it.

The second option is to stack the tiers directly on top of each other. This will mean that the cake will have to be assembled prior to transport, and I have no idea how to transport an assembled cake.

Any advise or ideas welcome.

It has about an hour and a half car journey, and I would be with it to try and keep it stablised, but my Dad will be driving and he doesn't do slow and steady. I agree with you madhen, I prefer the way cakes stacked on top of each other look, and this was my first idea but what if it falls over or collaspes?

Probably not. I'm going to ring my caterers tomorrow as they may be the best people to ask for advice on this one. My sister and h2b think that pillars are the bet option.

well done !!! it looks lovely xx

Fair point. Maybe see what the caterers say and if you have to go with pillars fair enough - it'll still look gorgeous :)
