Wedding cake

It was a long long break from blogging...I'm all refreshed and ready to start another year with more bakings and decoratings.

Last December, I took a challenging project...it was a huge wedding cake. The cake was dummy in 16" 13" and 10" with 6" high. It was a really hard work...covering a huge cake is not an easy job. It harder than you can imagine. When I took on the project, I thought It wouldn't be too hard. But it was so hard that I got sick of fondant. I was so sick that I didn't even want to touch and smell fondant for almost 2 months...but now I'm back with more fondant works...hehehe still love decorating so much that I just can't get sick enough to throw everythings away.

I used styro dummies for the cake. Using royal icing I stick 2 dummies together to get the height that I wanted then covered in fondant. The bride and groom really like simple and modern cake, so I created this cake with quilted layer in the middle and ivory satin ribbon.

The intial JC was made of cardboard with sparkling powder.

The bride and groom figurine were fondant. It is not easy working with black fondant, it is too soft and sticky and harder to dry. For black fondant, I suggest mix it with chocolate fondant so it won't be too sticky.

Hard work pays off, everyone was happy with the cake. I really want to thank my hubby for helping me with kneading and rolling the fondant...THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BE THERE WHEN I NEED YOU...
