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!

It's a masterpiece of engineering and artistry, built from a base of rich chocolate sponge cake, meticulously layered with luscious chocolate buttercream. But the real magic lies in its exterior, adorned with a whopping 30 kilograms of fondant, bringing the chosen princess to life in vibrant sugar-sculpted glory. Creating this colossal confection is no child's play. Imagine the logistics! Transporting this behemoth requires a dedicated van, carefully navigating the cityscape for two hours until it reaches its designated London venue. There, it takes its rightful place atop a custom-made, 1-meter-tall plinth, ready to reign over a
