Prince William & Kate Middleton Royal Wedding Cake

I use this ideal home show cake competition as a great opportunitiy to do something different, other than the usual decorated round tiered cake people normally expect for a classic tiered wedding cake. It was really a challenge for me to do this cake. It's a hard work, but I really enjoyed making it. Prince William and Kate Middleton cake is made of traditional english fruit cake, carved into 3D busts with an armature inside, covered with apricot jam. The icing was sculpted with details and then airbrushed with colours to make it look more realistic. It took about 80 hours to make and I uses more than 10kgs marzipan and 10kg Icing sugar. You can see this cake at the " Ideal Food-Ideal Cake Decorato r" section at the Ideal Home Show March 11th -  27th   2011 Earls Court London. I hope I see you there!

The intricate details of the Taj Mahal require meticulous attention and over 100 hours of dedicated craftsmanship. Each delicate pillar, archway, and floral motif is meticulously hand-crafted, using over 30kgs of fondant. Witnessing this edible masterpiece come to life is a truly rewarding experience. This cake is more than just a dessert; it's a tangible expression of the love story unfolding on the wedding day. It's a testament to the enduring power of love and the artistry that can be poured into celebrating it. As I sculpt each detail, I can't help but feel a ...
