Wedding cake for a beautiful bride

This wedding cake is my first cake after a long break due to pregnancy and spending the first 3 months with my gorgeous little girl.  I knew it would be difficult to make a cake while caring for a 3 month old, but I didn't quite realise how difficult!

The cake is a 3 tier sponge and the bride requested a string of edible pearls to be draped over the cake. 

The cake was delivered in true new mum style - in a Huggies nappies box.

  • time to make: 4 x longer than it should have
  • favourite part: creating the pearl necklace
  • biggest challenge: adding the detail before my baby needed me to avoid the icing setting.
