Here’s what I have sort of decided for the cake. I’m going to go for a combination of the elements from the two cakes below.
Colours
Gold, pale ivory, (slightly dark) ivory with a slight tinge of golden yellow
Elements
Both tiers
- Size 5 beads in pale ivory on the bottom of each tier, piped with decorators buttercream.
- Henna-like emboidery lattice piped and then painted with golden paint (safe for consumption)
- Pale ivory fondant on top of marzipan-lined cake
Top tier
- Three gumpaste lilies in ivory-golden yellow with gumpaste leaves (insides of the petals will be dusted with pearl/gold shimmer)
Bottom tier
- Two gumpaste lilies in ivory-golden yellow with gumpaste leaves (insides of the petals will be dusted with pearl/gold shimmer)
Notes
Flowers are to be done ahead of time, at least three days to one week.
What you guys think?
You’re going to bake that cake yourself?!
WOW.
BTW, I love both designs. Love the henna-like embroidery
They are both very beautiful, but I kinda find the left cake is more suited for a afternoon luncheon and the one on the right more for a dinner reception.
Yeah…funny thing is that my design doesn’t look nearly the same!
