This 3 tier cake has 2 tiers fruit cake and 1 tier sponge. All 3 tiers were placed on thin boards the same size as the cake and covered in almond paste and the white sugarpaste. The tiers were then placed on top of each other and ribbon put at the base of each tier.
The black flowers on the top were hand made with black flower paste, some carnations, roses and leaves. The butterflys were bought from a local cake shop and the black long thin leave were bought from a local craft shop. I put them all together in a bouquet form and put into a special plastic flower holder that could be sunk ionto the top of the cake.
The black petals were made out of black sugar paste and each petal was rolled out thin and then placed on the cake to make it look like falling petals.
