When Ann and her daughter Katie came to me with their wedding cake ideas, the thought of a cake covered in pearls really captured my imagination. Simply stunning. After 6 hours and a few hand cramps from placing all the pearls on with tweezers, i was feeling very Zen. The top tier is Madagascan Vanilla and Raspberry, the cupcakes are Madagascan Vanilla sponge and buttercream with a Raspberry jam filling.
I feel like i should do a ‘guess how many pearls on the cake’ competition.
Here are a few close ups of the pearls, i used a selection of colours and sizes to add depth.
