50th Wedding Anniversary Cake

I have really been struggling to work this week and this cake has probably taken me a lot longer to make than it usually would, but the end result was worth it!  The cake is for a close friend of my mother-in-law Penelope, and the lady in question , Hatty was let down by another cake maker any I was available to fill in.  Lucky me, because it's just the sort of cake that I love to make!
