Wedding Cake 'Maria-Lena' - Museum

Wow!  What a truly spectacular venue for a wedding reception!  It's unbelievable how the great hall of The Natural History Museum (complete with Dippy the Diplodocus!) was transformed into a magical wedding reception venue.  'Starlight' back drops, gold dance floor in front of the grand staircase (each step lined with several tea-lights), the most incredible table centre-pieces by Floco Flower Company, lighting..  just wow!  Congratulations to Maria-Lena and Bharan! (And yes, this is the same couple who had a smaller reception the week before).  They chose this gorgeous, opulent 6 tier buttercream cake - entirely sprayed with edible gold lustre, with rustic finish and decorated with flowers.  Alternate tiers of Victoria sponge and red velvet cake.

6 tier - Wedding Cake 'Amrit'

 
 On 28th June I delivered the largest wedding cake I've ever made to the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.  It was a 6 tier cake (although the bottom tier was a dummy tier - I simply don't have facilities to bake a 16" cake!)
The cakes were lemon sponge with lemon curd buttercream and coconut & lime with lime curd buttercream.  Once covered with sugarpaste, they were then highly pearlised before being decorated with royal icing stencil work.  The cake almost appeared to be floating, as it was displayed on a clear acrylic table and finally it finished with flowers - both from the very talented Floco Flower Co.
I don't usually post photos of myself, but I thought it would give some scale to the picture; I'm 5'4 tall, so not exactly a shortie!!

Wedding Cake 'Jasmin'

 
Huuuuge 6 tier wedding cake.  The white ruffled tiers were 6" tall and by contrast, the gold tiers were only 3" tall.   I can't take credit for the design, as the customer brought me a photo of a cake that she'd fallen in love with, but I don't know the original designer.
