WEDDING - WHITE HAT - BLACK HAT...
WITH A TOUCH OF ORANGE
for TANNIELL & MARK


Some two years ago i designed a *Hat Cake* for a Photo Shoot........

.... then this September i was asked to make a Cake along the same design  as a Wedding Cake..

Two Brandied Fruit Cakes...both 3 inches high  - glazed with an Apricot Jam syrup - caredully stacked on top of each other -  covered in Marzipan and then covered in a thin layer of Fondant ............... then  decorated with 730 small flowers.
 Large flowers formed the brim of the Hat Cake with smaller flowers placed over them so as to give the tumbling effect.
Three Orange Flowers sat on top of the Cake...
Orange being the main Colour Theme of the Wedding. and Reception.

To sit along side the White Flower Hat Cake i made a Black Top Hat..... and for that added Orange touch there was to be an Orange Ribbon around the base of the Top Hat.


The Venue for this Wedding was the Aqua Viva - whih sits out qpon the water at Nedlands - here in Perth.

Blue skies and a gentle breeze made for a perfect Spring Wedding.

  3. What a great idea! Using a hat theme for the bride and groom cakes is a fun unique idea. I'm sure they loved it.

    730 flowers!!! Wow, that's mind boggling! I'll bet when you finished you were even seeing flowers in your dreams... LOL! Great job!
