Iced Images Cakes - The Wedding Cake Blog

  I love silver and white together and I was inspired by the fishnet lace mat by Claire Bowman to make this cake. The bottom tier was made using the Karen Davies Pearl Effect Mould to decorate the sides of cake and finished in a white lustre. The second tier was left plain but edged as were the tall 3rd tier and top tier in two rows of diamante to tie in the sparkle and silver theme. The 3rd tier, a tall tier was 8 inches tall, iced in white but covered in silver metallic fishnet edible lace, made using the Claire Bowman Cake Lace mat, giving this fabulous effect. The top tier was another plain iced tier. The cake was finished with two sprays of white sugar roses place either side of the 2nd tier. In the flesh the cake sparkled but sadly this cannot be seen in the picture.

I love the simplicity of this beautiful cake. Its actually a 3 tier cake iced to look like a 2 tier with the bottom tier being double height or double barrel. I indented the cake to give it the ruched effect and then added an edible broach made using a  Karen Davies Moulds and added various sparkles and gem shapes using dragee balls and sugar paste shapes to make a star! This cake would be great for a small intimate wedding where you aren't having too many guests, or for a birthday or other celebration. This cake was 2 x 8 inch round on the bottom and 6 inch round on the top. I personally don't think it would work in bigger tiers but you could add additional tiers and make the double barrel cake as the middle tier! Just an idea!!!
