This cake was made for a couple who loved to exercise. They regularly competed in races, sometimes for 24 hours!
Kayaking, cycling and running were their sports of choice.....
This cake tested my model making skills. Each tier was used for a different sporting activity, starting with kayaking on the bottom......
where different shades of blue were utilised in order to create the idea of waves and distance. This was then stacked with a tier dedicated to cycling......
With this level I was able to bring colour in with the used of blossom on the trees. The bikes/racers were tricky to make and if you look closely you will see that there is only half a person on each bike! The top tier was dedicated to running.....
This involved yet more models and this time colour was added by having trees, hills, sky and clouds.
On the very top of the cake, there was finally the finish line which showed the happy couple who have not only won the race but had time to get married!
The scenes are complete the full way around the cake, giving the wedding guests something to see no matter where they are stood.
This was a fun cake to make and knowing that it was so personal to the bride and groom made it that much more special.
