At the end of April I made my friend Lorna's wedding cake. I iced the fruit layer while Timmy & Luke watched one afternoon- they were fascinated! Once I had finished, they made some marzipan fruits with the left overs. It was great fun! We made rosy apples by rolling red & green marzipan into little balls & then poking a hole in the top with a cocktail stick....
... and luscious red strawberries by rolling the red marzipan in caster sugar (Luke 'drove' his marzipan round the bowl making car noises!!) & the boys also made yellow bananas with varying degrees of success!
The boys were really pleased with the results!
We made some little card baskets & put some of the fruits inside. Timmy & Luke gave a basket to each of their teachers at school. The teachers loved them!
I stayed up all night icing my friends wedding cake & this is the finished result! One layer of yummy fruit cake, one layer of plain madeira & two layers of chocolate madeira!
I made 30 roses out of icing & dusted each one with pink shimmer powder & put a little edible pearl in the centre. Fun! ;0)
Lorna came with her best friend Liz to collect the cake from our house. I was a bit nervous about it travelling in the car with them but Liz looked quite at home with it on her lap!
And Luke enjoyed sitting in the box we were going to use to transport the cake in (only it was too tricky to get it into it!).

Gosh the cake on the lap reminds me of travelling with tadpole tanks etc! Did they drive slowly? How far was the journey?
The basket is SWEET. The cake was a masterpiece too; but it didn't last long. Your pottery creations are more long lasting!

Thanks for your sweet words on my blog. The cake is gorgeous! My mother decorates cakes too every now and then, so I can relate to the tense moments of transporting one! :)
What a beautiful cake! It's really gorgeous! I love the little fruit basket too. So cute!
Beautiful cake!! So perfect for your first attempt--looks like you've been creating for years!
TFS!
Wow! I love the cake! And I never knew you could get edible pearls! Learn something new every day eh? And the marzipan fruits look fab too! the boys looked as though they were having fun. xxx
