Wedding Cake

This wedding cake is for my brother in-law Nigel and his Fiancé Krista. The bottom tier is a rich fruit cake and the top tier will be a sponge cake.

Turn the cake upside down and pack the gap at the bottom with fondant icing.  Use apricot jam thinned with water and warmed in a sauce pan to make the icing stick.  Fill all the defects with icing too.

Roll out icing ( I would normally use marzipan) and lay on cake and smooth with your hand over the top and then round the edges.  Gradually work down the sides of the cake in one area at a time then trim the icing at the bottom.

I will decorate the cake next.
