My piece de resistance...

This magnificent creation pretty much topped off my year. A fabulous gold cake for a fabulous girl who was tuning 40. If someone told me in March last year that I would have produced a cake like this 9 months later , I would have held up the "W" sign..whatever.

 The large tier was a triple barrel that contained 3 different flavored 9inch cakes. Lemon mud with lemon curd mascarpone, white chocolate and raspberry mud with white chocolate ganache and a delicious dark chocolate and white chocolate mud swirl with a dark chocolate and coffee ganache. The 5 inch tier on top was the dark chocolate cake. The cake was made to serve 100.

This cake was then airbrushed gold. I used royal icing to give the gold barrel some more added texture. The top tier was bathed in gold glitter from Germany. It looked amazing underneath the light. I also sourced from my favourite Etsy shop "Sugar Robot" the spectacular edible butterflies.I used about 120 of them. They were all placed by hand.

I Love this Cake.
