Iced Images Cakes - The Wedding Cake Blog

I have made several cakes now for the company BMC in London. This is the latest one. The cakes is based on a software platform called Aardvark which has various releases that run with the letters of the alphabet (sounds like I might know what I'm talking about but I don't really). The first cake was an Aardvark wearing an orange Bobble Hat (see future posts) The second was Custard Cream. The third was a Double Decker bus with an aardvark in an orange bobble hat driving it. Then there was this one! An Easter Egg with an aardvark popping out the top wearing an orange bobble hat! The company supplied me with an Easter egg images that they had been using for their release documentation which was a chocolate egg in gold foil. The chocolate egg was made from chocolate fondant icing and sprayed with glaze to give it a shiny look. The gold was painted in Faye Cahill gold. Every time I walked into my cake room it smelt divine and I actually kept thinking it was a real egg ...

A client asked me to remake a cake that she had found on the Internet for her daughters 1st birthday and christening party. Sadly I cannot credit the original designer. The cake was a two tier, the bottom tier was made of pale pink ruffles, which give a fabulous look but are time consuming. The top tier was decorated with pale pink and gold dots and a gold painted number one! The gold paint we used was  Faye Cahill Shimmer Gold available from  Cake Stuff , this is 100% edible and for me is definitely the best edible gold on the market at the moment. The cake was collected and driven to London for the party. It was accompanied by pink and white buttercream cupcakes. The client provided her own topper.
