Showstopper Cake Challenge!!!

I made something similar also! I think Lorraine Pascals would be showstopper enough

I've make that Lorraine Pascale one but with flakes instead of cigarellos.

You could try her malteser cake - looks pretty awesome!

Flakes you say? Hmm intersting! I've been looking at cigerellos and they are so expensive - flakes could be the way to go, but they may be a bit too bulky?

Could you do a heart shape? Obv not three tiers...

Yes I think flakes may be too bulky for that cake and blooming messy! If you don't think this one is wow enough could you use sweets rather than fruit? It'd keep better too.

Ooh Kharv... thanks for that love, good to see what the flakes will look like. I don't think I'd be able to do a heart, as my stand isn't that big and I reckon it would end up being a small heart to get it all to fit on. Round is maybe better in order to get more cake on!

Anybody know if you can still get white chocolate flakes or were they a one off specail for Anthea Turner's wedding!!? (anybody remember them - the snowflake!?)

What wouldn't I give to be able to dive into that face first right this minute .....

What about this? Looks pretty simple!

ATB - a quick look at the Cadbury website says they don't do them anymore, you certainly can't buy them direct from cadbury. What about chocolate fingers? They defo do white ones of those

was thinking the same!

that Lorraine Pascale one looks like a show stopper!

not sure you will have enough time to do this, but you could just pour melted chocolate on the die and when its dry scape bits off so its more delecate flakes of chocolate?!

*pops on coat and heads to the shops to stock up on Flakes*

That flake cake looks fab! The malteaser one also. A friend of mine had a malteaser covered wedding cake.
Do they have any favourite sweets you could incorporate? The sticks of chocolate cakes look "simple" but that can be half their beauty. And they do have a wow factor.

Years ago (before I was any good at baking), I tried a recipe from my James Martin Dessert book - a fire and ice cake. It took me 6 hours! I said never again but now I actually know what I'm doing - maybe I should try it again! ?

It's basically a 3 tier sponge cake with tuille "flames" and buttercream. The picture in the book had a flower arrangement on the top if I remember.

Something plain looking with rainbow sponge inside always give a "woooooooooow" although depends on the sort of wedding whether a bright cake is suitable. I'd totally have one.

Nigella's Maya Gold Chocolate mousse cake is quite possibly my fav cake ever! Simply paint the top with gold edible dust/powder for very simple but luxurious looking finish. Or you could add some faux gold flowers/sugar flowers or candies orange/Clementine

No last min prep required and keeps well in air tight container.

They all look amazing but I think the love hearts sweets cake is so apt. Could even do rainbow sponge inside? Or pastel or matching wedding colours?
