Wedding cake for him and her, pastels and superheroes.
4 tiers: coffee and caramel, raspberry (cake and frosting flavoured using actual raspberries, not synthetic flavourings) chocolate fudge and lemon cake in superhero colours with fresh lemon curd frosting.
Decorated with sugar flowers, sugar shirt, sugar baterang and sugar spiderman.
I was quite pleased with my flowers, especially the mixture of different roses and the mini morning glory style creepers.
The flower theme came from photos supplied by the bride.
The superhero themed pieces were inspired by other cakes, except for the baterang which was direct from the groom himself.
The baterang was cantilevered using florist's wire and straws, as well as stuck on with royal icing.
The bottom tier was in comic book colours to reflect the theme.
NB. the photo shows the cake straight out of the oven, baked with a cover so the open texture on the top was removed when levelled.

Yummy lemon off cuts show the colours well:
Straining raspberries:
Lemon curd cooling:
Raspberry test cake:
Fresh raspberries between layers:
and ALOT of good dark chocolate!
As you can see, I like the effect of having some tiers with rounded corners and some with 90˚corners. I don't do it all the time, but I think it adds interest so you'll often see this on my cakes as well as having the double board effect.
Super wedding, fabulous venue, really lovely couple and a very happy life together.
Congratulations both! x
