Open Stacked Cake with Fresh Flowers

I have watched some videos of how cake decorators make beautiful stacked cakes - some extraordinary show-stoppers with the height of a person, some topsy turvy ones with sophisticated architectural support in the middle, and some wedding cakes with skillfully hand-crafted prefect little details.

I spent my whole weekend learning and making a 3-Tiered Open Stacked Cake with Fresh Flowers, quite a lot of hard work but totally loved and enjoyed it! I think I am better in arranging flowers than stacking the cake though :-P I am going to enroll some professional courses to develop more skills :-D

This wasnt the original product, I actually picked and changed the flowers to my favourite pink and lilac colours for practice.

The original one was to use seasonal flowers, yellow and orange varieties for autumn from Covent Garden Market. Cutting, filling, icing, stacking, arranging, piping, decorating...

2 whole days of effort :) very happy with the final outcome and definitely will put what I learnt into good use.
