This was our all time favorite cake to date, a full on cascading hydrangea wedding cake. husband to be contacted us months before the big day and told us he wanted to surprise his wife with a grand wedding cake with her favorite blue hydrangeas.
It took all hands on deck (even the delivery man husband had to chip in!) to complete all the hydrangeas, each one was painstakingly dusted in luster dusts, and it took us another hour or so to finish positioning the flowers. but when we finished, we were floored. big time. we almost couldn't bear to part with the cake.
it was a big success on the surprise part of the cake. the bride was totally unsuspecting, and she couldn't believe that all 4 tiers was cake. real cake!
one of our proudest cakes to date. more to come we hope! : )
Hi Veronica
ReplyDeleteI admire you straight/sharp edge cake... the Aussie
style.... wonder how you get it sharp and the type of choc you use for ganache... coz in Sg whether very hot and humid tendency to get air pockets.
H, thank you for your compliments, we work in an air conditioned room and yes hate the air pockets too. I use 55 - 70% chocolates for my ganache.
