After a very late start to the evening's work, I'm amazed by the progress I've made on Laura's cake, it's very nearly finished. I have taken some step by step photos to give you an insight how it has been put together. I'll number the comments to correspond with the photos as I still can't work out how to comment next to the pictures.
- The chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream is covered in white fondant.
- The gumpaste strips to make swags, rolled using the pasta machine and cut with the ribbon cutter pictured.
- Pleating the swags using dowels.
- The swags with added bow detail.
- The name detail, made using extruded gumpaste shaped into the letters.
- The nearly finished cake :-)
It just needs a ribbon trim now and it's ready for the birthday girl. All I need now is for her little sister to be able to walk (she dropped a heavy tub of cream on her big toe tonight, hence the late start) and we're off for Pizza and to the Cinema on Saturday.
