It's stylish and eye... |

This Alice in Wonderland inspired cake is spectacular. And yes – It is EDIBLE, a real hand-made delicious wedding cake. My heart skipped a beat when I saw it, just a perfect interpretation of what we wanted to achieve with our inspiration board: (1) The layers of the cake take their shape (or misshape) from the mad hatter’s hat, (2) The silky cloth-like draping of sugar and powder blue sky pay homage to the iconic Tim Walker image called “Wonderland”, (3) The delicately hand-painted winding pathway incorporates the natural lush setting, (4) The hand-made purple orchid sugar flowers gro... |
