In-between holidays, I managed to create a 5 tier Forget-Me-Not Wedding Cake for my baby sister. Readers of my other lifestyle blog, 2 Adults 3 Children may have seen some of the pictures of our wonderful family day.
As usual, I loved making this cake – the bottom 3 tiers were fruit, baked and covered before we went on holiday. The top 2 tiers were polystyrene – no-one needs THAT much cake! This was super heavy, Mr C had to do all the lifting even after just the bottom tier. I used a 22″ round drum board with a 20′ round drum on top. I like my 5 tier cakes to be double boarded. The shape just seems to flow better and 2 boards provide a bit more support for carrying all that weight around.
Every single sugar flower was made using white flower paste and left to set and shape on crinkled up tinned foil. I dusted each flower with 2 different colours of pale blue dusting powder – Edible Art, Iris and Rainbow Dust, Sky Blue. The centre of each flower had a handmade edible diamante made with a teeny ball of flower paste dipped in a mixture of glitters, Pastel Blue & Rainbow Dust Sparkle Cake Decorating Glitter – Jewel Silver
The photo was taken by my cousin at the venue and used with permission. I love it!

Such an elegant wedding cake Helen, I bet they were so pleased with it. Love the top tip to use 2 drum boards ontop of each other to give a lovely continues step to the stacked cakes. Great to see you and bake of the week back.
