Wanted to experiment with different techniques since I was making my own birthday cake. I had to revise my attempts, one being lace on the cake, as it's been so hot, humid and rainy. Lace just was drying. I wanted to try and get the lacey look from my china tea cup, my inspiration, but wasn't too be. So plan B. There's always a plan B! Two bottom tiers are cake dummies, top is coconut cherry Victoria sponge, recipe courtesy of my friend Katy from CWB. Unfortunately, although I stored my cake in the coolest room, the cake seems to have developed a bulge....this after having to put the fondant on the cake twice...twice! Grrrr. Thank goodness this wasn't for a customer....just little ole me. I made the cameo with a mould courtesy of Mel of SugarandSpiceCakes....thanks Mel.
