Each tier of this lovely lace cake for Sheila and Tom's wedding at Hillbark Hotel was fruit. Our gorgeous very mature fruit cake which was doused with brandy, covered with apricot preserve, marzipan, icing so that finally the gorgeous lace panels could decorate two tiers of the cake. The lace panels are painstakingly cut from their press and tiny details are then cut out from the centre of the panels by hand.
To pick out even more detail, we then pipe over with royal icing to achieve this look. Sheila wanted some sparkle on the cake to compliment her dress so we added a few tiny diamante every now and again as flower centres. Lastly the bow was placed just above the bottom tier at a slightly quirky and off centre angle which I think finished off this cake.

The amazing flowers on the cake table are by Earth flowers: http://www.earthflowers.co.uk/ Earth also dressed the beautiful table plan made by Ling at Dragonfly Couture Stationery: http://dragonflycouturestationery.com/
This wedding was such a perfect example of every element completing the next. I really like the way the flowers linked the table plan to the cake and everything in between and that I was able to see the day from beginning to end through the pictures; and that I saw Sheila's exquisite dress!
