Sydney Easter Show 2007 – competition cake, originally uploaded by Temeraire.

Not your traditional topper, but still beautiful in it’s presentation and successful in creating the fairy tale wedding mood.

The topper is a molded gumpaste bowl with bas relief birds and leaves with peonies, roses and tea tree flowers. Inspiration for this cake came from the movie ‘Marie Antoinette’, with a palette of candy pinks and pastel yellows, and incorporating a chinoiserie design which was popular for interior design of that period.
