TSC Flower Power Week – An English Style Cake from Maja!

Welcome to another day of TSC Flower Power Week

When I first saw photos of English style wedding cakes, I thought they were some kind of plastic  – I couldn’t believe those masterpieces of confectionery were edible! I hadn’t the chance to taste an English cake yet (I wouldn’t like to destroy such a wonder, anyway ), but they inspired me to create an embellishment for the wedding exploding box, which I made as a means of handing in a banknote gift

But hey, I am supposed to show some flowers, am I not? Surely, I have them too In previous posts my talented friends Zuzia and Flo presented tutorials on how to create beatiful flowers. I also included a handmade flower, but it’s so easy it doesn’t even need a toturial I simply sewed a piece of guipire ribbon with a baste stitch, pulled the thread at the end and the flower just made itself Then I added a brad in the middle and glued the flower onto the box lid:

As you can see, I used the colour palette of chocolate, mint and icing white I matched the flowers on the box lid with glimmer mists, and used  the One Moment In Time papers to decorate the box, as their desings remind me of complicated decorations on English style cakes. Not to cover those designs too much, I just stamped some filigrees on the sides and decorated them with pearls:

Well, time to unpack the cake! The inner sides are the places to place the banknotes and write in some wishes:

And here’s the two tier miniature I made, using some “chocolate” paper, roses with pearl “icing” and mint “creme”

Who knows, maybe I’ll make a real English style cake some day – now I have to content myself with a paper one – at least it doesn’t go bad and is a low-cal treat
