I enjoyed making this naked wedding cake and really liked the inclusion of a chocolate middle tier. I feel it helps the white roses and red strawberries to stand out as well as providing another dimension to the cake.
The bride provided the 'Mr and Mrs' wooden sign which works well as a topper, especially when surrounded by the fruit and gypsophila.
I made a very good discovery when it came to arranging the flowers. In the past I used posy picks inserted into the cake, in order to prevent the stems from going into the cake. This time I used an edible wax called 'Ingenious edibles Safety Seal'. To use it you put the pot in the microwave to melt the wax and then leave it to cool for a few minutes. You then slowly dip the stems into the pot, coating them in the wax. This process can be repeated if a thicker layer is required. Once the wax has set, the flowers can then be pushed directly into the cake without the need for posy picks.
I found this technique much easier and feel that the result from it was better.
The board is the same one used for the last naked cake. It is a slice of tree trunk and provides and great rustic feel to the cake.
