I think I have had a moment... For some strange reason, I had an Eureka moment... Whilst watching some cake making programme I recorded on the digibox last year I saw a cake... Absoluetly b*gger all like anything I want, but it did have one aspect I NEED. The board had hanging crystals around it like a chandelier... I loved it!
This idea then proceeded onto another train of thought... Memories of a cake I once saw which I thought of as highly impressive, but not necessarily to my taste... Oh yeah Wills and Kates cake!
Each tier has a different decoration but it all ties in together... Also there are the different shapes and textures to take into consideration. This cake is truly fit for royalty! Well done Fiona Cairns!
Now I am not rushing off to duplicate the royal wedding cake, nor do I want a mirror image of anything as grand as this. I simply like the idea of each tier having its own decoration, mirroring an aspect of detail from elsewhere in the wedding, such as detail of the brides dress, shapes taken from the flowers and patterns or textures taken from the fabrics. That way aspects of the wedding would all be tied together in one place, which is what I tend to try and create when making a wedding cake anyway!
So, I sat there with a cup of tea, a piece of paper and a pencil and started scribbling...
Im a little excited now.... I may need to wee...
Could this be the first rough draft of my cake? (apologies - My drawing skills leave something to be desired)
