Stamped in Cake

Unusual cake requests are my favourite. I love when I have to plan it out, think through the aspects and trial elements to ensure they will come together for the final product. I was chuffed when I sat down with a friend for lunch late last year and she mentioned she had recommended me to friend of hers getting married in January who had an unusual idea for her cake. Unfortunately the floods that terrorised Brisbane earlier this year postponed the wedding, but finally, on the weekend just gone, everything was good to go!

The couple wanted the top tier of their wedding cake to be a stamp - the groom is a mad stamp fanatic and the bride thought it would be the perfect (and possibly only) opportunity to slash into a stamp. The cake was finished off with two bunches of brightly coloured flowers at each end of the stamp and red ribbon bordering each tier.

When that opportunity did come, cutting through the stamp and flowers revealed delicious carrot and mud cake, smothered in ganache - yum yum yum. I very much enjoyed making this cake and hope it was exactly as the couple imagined :).
