Sydney Easter Show 2007 - competition cake
My entry in the Wedding Cake Section of the Sydney Easter Show 2007. I included a variety of techniques in this cake - the 'fabric' frills are sugarpaste, branches are painted, birds are bas relief, and the borders on the top 2 tiers are extension and lace. The topper is a moulded gumpaste bowl with bas relief birds and leaves with peonies, roses and tea tree flowers. Inspiration for this cake came from the movie 'Marie Antoinette', with a palette of candy pinks and pastel yellows, and incorporating a chinoiserie design which was popular for interior design of that period.
