I now give you a tiered cake that was not for a wedding, but for a little boys christening. This cake consisted of 3 tiers. The base although it looks like two cakes, is in fact only one. It is a slightly smaller cake on the top to create the stepping up.
The base is a 9 inch and an 8 inch on that, then the centre pole of the carousel is also cake, 4 inch to be exact, then the roof is an 8 inch cake carved like a dome. There are plastic rods all through the different sections of the cake to create a structure that is more sound than cake usually is.
The four horses are all handmade, from fondant icing with a hardening agent added to it to make it more solid. They took about 2 days to make due to the drying time and the amount of detail. The hardest part was putting it all together, the boarder around the top of the cake was a pain I will not deny it. But the finished product was well received and I must admit I was proud of it.
Oooooh the horses!
