Cold Porcelain Cake Top

[Katy B.]

I knew I had these photos somewhere on my PC !!!
To add to the one photo I posted a while ago.

Oh Katy, this is beautiful. What a very special cake that is. Do you do make the cake as well as the toppings?

[Katy B.]

No Di. I have not been making the cakes.
I just cover the cake with Royal icing, decorate the sides,
bottoms with piping work and create the flowers to finish it off.

[Diane Stafford]

Katy, it's the outside that makes the cake special - I wouldn't want to cut into this it's so gorgeous!!

The wedding industry is big business, a great start up business for those so inspired.

The decorative pieces can all be lifted off.
The top flowers are sitting on a plaque so the couple could transport it home to China.
I have been thinking about doing to sell but can't get ahead of what I am doing at the moment. Definitely "Food for thought"

[Diane Stafford]

It really is gorgeous, I hope they packed your flowers carefully for the trip! Yes, it is definitely 'food for thought' as a business - and such a wonderful memento for the couple to keep. :>) lovely Thanks for sharing, Di

[Val]

I love this idea of the couple having an everlasting keepsake from their cake :)

[Katy B.]

Yes Val.
The couple were delighted to be able to take it back to China for their ceremony there with the bride's family.

I really want to have a go at this but I don't think my flowers or whatever will come out looking like they should, I am not that artistic, I will probably have to copy something when I try it out. Do you have any tips Katy?

[Katy B.]

First of all Val. Have you got the recipe for making the base paste?
Second. Have you done any Cake icing decos?
I am endeavouring to do a video on making roses but there sites that can guide you.

There are other sites and I will hunt them out for you, over the weekend.
Cheers
