Iced Images Cakes - The Wedding Cake Blog

  In September 2020 I was asked to take part in an Urban Styled Shoot at Sun Pier House in Chatham, Kent. The organiser of the shoot was very specific about the style of cake she wanted for the shoot, a concrete effect three tier cake with orange flowers and six matching mini cakes.

This ribbon was also used on the 4 th top tier of the cake finished with a bow and a gold and diamante brooch.   The second and third tier of the cake were combined to give one extra tall tier approx. 8 inches in height.
