30th Birthday Cake

30th Birthday Cake 

This cake was done for my son's, girlfriend's sister, Alisson, who was 30 yesterday and had a big party.

 



It is a two tier cake, the bottom cake was vanilla sponge and filled with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream with chocolate chips, covered in a white ganache and then pink fondant icing covered over the cake.  I then covered the side with pink fondant petals, a very long job!  But I was so pleased with my first attempt at this.

The top cake was lemon and elderflower sponge and filled with lemon swiss meringue buttercream, covered in white ganache and then covered in a white fondant icing.  I did a quilt effect on the side and finishing off with gold balls and then piped gold royal icing on the top and bottom of this cake.  

This was then topped with a gold '30' and three fondant pink roses and gold fondant leaves.  



Again, my first attempt at roses and they came out well!
