Vintage wedding cake






































This is a cake I made for a friend (remember the hen party in Bath?).
She wanted a vintage feel, with tones of champagne to match her dress.
























She had a brooch to add as well, and a buckle made by her Aunties. It didn't quite match the cake, so I covered it in lace and added some beads and sequins.





















Of course we had to add some painted features, we kept the colour palette to peach to match the flowers but I used cream and brown for the leaves as I though green would be too much.


















My friend looked absolutely beautiful on the day and was very pleased with the cake. the weather was amazing, it was a perfect day!
