So this wedding cake was made for a friend who was happy for me to come up with any design I wanted and for it to be a surprise.

A couple of weeks ago, Marie from Couture Cupcakes & Cookies shared the most beautiful cake I've ever seen and I just knew I wanted to do something similar.

This was a real labour of love because I really have always hated doing squares, however this was a real learning curve and one which I enjoyed. I'm definitely more confident with squares now and won't be so intimidated by them now.

Bottom tier is ferrero rocher which is alternating layers of chocolate sponge and hazelnut genoise filled with hazelnut SMBC and roasted hazelnuts, all covered with dark chocolate ganache. The top tier and the second bottom tier is strawberries and cream and the second top tier is chocolate orange, which is alternating layers of chocolate cake and orange genoise filled with orange curd SMBC laced with chocolate orange chips.
