Another wedding cake for a friend, and it needed to be delivered to Ipswich area, luckily we were invited guests too!

This was hand-carved, and one side was traditional rich fruit cake with marzipan, and the other was vanilla sponge, all covered with sugarpaste as one cake.
There can be no greater honour for a cake maker than to be asked to make a cake for your own friends’ wedding. In this case, even more of an honour as they could so easily have chosen someone much more local, being over 100 miles away. It took a while to come up with
These were made specifically for Valentines day, but it occurred to me that they would be perfect as wedding favours too, made to match the happy couple’s colour scheme for the day.
