Wedding cake with exquisite sugar orchids

by sugargeek on April 25, 2008

Wedding season is approaching, and here is a stunning cake to get you in the mood. Gone are the days of fluffy frosting and miniature plastic people on top of the cake. This elegant cake is covered in smooth, pale pink and rich brown fondant, and festooned with delicate, handmade, gumpaste orchids. Those blossoms look amazing, especially the very thin, fluted edges. And look at the painted details, too. The touches of pink and yellow, and the tiny freckles on the petals. Wow.

Wow. That cake probably costs more than my wedding. And maybe even our first car.

That is one of the prettiest and classiest wedding cakes I have seen!

WOW!
This is an amazing cake!
I got married in September last year and would have loved a cake like this. I’d like to post this picture on my blog.
Beautiful!

I’m a cake decorator myself. Though I’ve not attempted 3 tier cakes yet. Yes This cake will certainly costs more than 200 pounds!

Hm. I don’t know about that one. It looks more like a hat than a cake. I’m not saying I would turn down a slice if someone offered it, because I wouldn’t!

This cake does not look too hard to do at all! I’m not even a professional but I’ve made a beautiful 3 tier cake for my son’s b-day, which turned out fabulous and cost me less than 50 dollars to make! Maybe I should go into business, huh?
