Wedding dress inspired wedding cake

This cake is the first of my new collection for two wedding fayres in September. I am so grateful to Sara at CourtHouse Cake Company who created such an easy to follow ruffles tutorial on Cakesdecor.

I wasn’t meant to be posting any of them until the collection was finished, but just couldn’t resist!

Lion and Prairie Dog Afternoon Tea Wedding Cake

This cake has been a real challenge but I am so pleased with the finished result. 

My client and her partner are marrying this Saturday in The Woodland Hall at Westonbirt Aboretum and I am reliably informed that they are affectionately referred to as a prairie dog and a lion by family members.  Therefore, my remit was to produce a cake reflecting these characters and also to set the scene around an afternoon tea party.

The bottom cake is a 12" chocolate truffle with a chocolate ganache buttercream.  The upper tier is a lusciously sticky lemon cake with a lemon curd buttercream.

I hope they like it as much as I do!
