I found this old CD I made many many years ago, some of the stuff on it is over 10 years old.
Came across some really old scanned images, of Wedding Cakes my mother and I used to do for people we knew ..... the files are really tiny, the images are pretty lousy too :rolleyes
I just decided one day that I thought I could do Cake Decorating and so I looked at a few pictures (I am sooooooo not a reader) and decided to have a go.
The cakes that are 3 Tier high are fruit cakes, first covered in Almond Icing, then covered in what is called Plastic Icing.
The flowers on the cakes other than the very first image are all hand made from Icing, they are my mothers handy work, and the extention work and lace is all hand made by me, these cakes used to take me many many hours to complete.
These images are pretty lousy but gosh what memories they hold :D
Enjoy....... Skippy
This was the first cake I ever tried to do, back then we didnt know how to make the hand made flowers, so we used silk ones, and I had not taught myself how to do the Extention Bridge work at this stage either.

The Centre piece of this Cake is an Open Card with Butterflies and flowers, the entire thing is made of ICING, yep even the butterflies are made of icing, the card too.. all done by hand (mums work)
See the outer ring of White Lace that stands up?
It is all hand made of icing too (my work)

This Cake was very plain and dainty, cant remember if this was a Wedding Cake or an Engagement :scratch
On the sides you can clearly see the extention work, it's like a bridge, it is off the cake like wires that hold a bridge, it's not easy to do and very time consuming, a row of hand made lace is above the extention (my work)
The tiny little flowers were made by my mother :D

This one I did for my Cousins Wedding, it's a 3 Tier.
The Cake has white icing, but peach coloured flowers, again all hand made.
Actually this was the very first 3 Tier Cake we ever did.
She wanted the works :D the Extention work, the Lace, everything :rolleyes

This is another 3 Tier Wedding Cake, the piece at the top was requested and supplied by the Bride.
The flowers are all hand made by my mother, and all the rest is my handy work
