Variety, they say is the spice of life. I absolutely adore making cakes that are unique and different. Although this is more work than churning out the same old designs  (I have nothing against this as after all it is less hassle!) and involves some risk, I find that it's a great way of being stretched and giving clients something truly memorable.

We recently created a very tall three tier gold and cream scroll cake with leaves based on the design of Ravi and Sunita's wedding rings. Sunita the bride is very creative and wanted a cake that was very personal and reflected both their tastes.

They decided to go with three different flavours for each tier as they both adored our luscious lemon cake, triple chocolate cake and old fashioned caramel cake.

Sugar scrolls are quite difficult to make as they need to be perfectly rounded and even. They also need to be painted and a number of coats of gold was used in order to get an even sheen. The cake was finally topped with sugar roses, gold berries and leaves. 

It was a joy to make and it was displayed in the middle of the room perfectly. All in all a great result!
