Red & White Part 1

I've just noticed (while looking through my cake photos) that I've done three wedding cupcake towers in red and white! I know it's a popular combo, but still, that's just under 50% of all the wedding cakes I've done. So I've decided to do a series! I know. So early in my blogging life. Who would have thought I had a series in me yet? It's crazy, it's madness.........but here it is.

Cake One
This one was my first cake, fresh out of decorating class, and was for my best friend :). I handmade 80 tiny sugar roses for the tops of the cupcakes, that's 800 tiny petals cut and shaped (I would never do it again, but I was young and naive).

I was very happy with the top tier and the roses (handmade and edible).

There was a couple of mishaps but I recovered (and that is a skill in itself) and the cake was done and delivered to the venue the day before the wedding (I was the maid of honour and wouldn't have had time to do it on the day).

That was nearly three years ago now- how time flies when you're having fun :). I will post the other two cakes soon.
