Feathered Wedding Cake

This Saturday I went to my third course at cakes 4 fun, but this time at a more advanced level.

I have never tiered a cake or used a lot of the skills involved in making a cake look as flawless as this one. But I loved every minute!

I've always used dummies when doing decoration in courses before, but this time I used a real cake which was an added bonus because we could eat it afterwards!

With the feathers I used rice paper strips cut to points and curled to give the effect. Very tricky with such a brittle material.

It was a huge eye opener into the time and effort put behind such a creation, but cannot wait for the challenge in the future!

Enjoy!
