Topsy Turvy Wedding Cake
My first wedding cake!
Red & Yellow Tiers - Rich Chocolate Butter Cake, filled with Espresso Italian Buttercream
Blue Tiers - Fresh Orange Buttercake, filled with Marmalade Italian Buttercream
Cake covered and styled with White Chocolate Flavoured Fondant, all decorations made from same fondant.
Does anyone know who developed this design, I need to thank them and give them credit for their fab work.
SugarLove has pointed me in the right direction with this comment

I didn't comment on all the photos but I loved looking through the process of you making this cake. It's one of my favorite things to see on Flickr when people show the in-between stages before the final product. You did SUCH a wonderful job recreating this cake! Bravo to you.

You did a great job! :)
I asked my boss for you and he said his wife had seen the photo of a cake in a magazine and had the catering company re-create it. So it seems it's a mystery....

Thank you everyone. I am now back in the land of the living, am planning on not doing anything in the kitchen for the next 3 days, except pour cereal, make coffee, and toasted cheese & vegemite sandwiches.
I am so please it turned out and it is great to have some work in progress pics.
I am going to toast my sucess with a pro account, ya me.
Princess of Ilyr - thanks for the detective work. I try to make sure that I can give credit to the original designers, if I am inspired or am asked to recreate a cake. Thanks for posting the original pic.

Thankyou for all your great comments. Some feedback I received from the wedding was that it was delicious but big.

wonderfull!!
And that for a first cake............
How much did you charge for it, or was it for a friend?

cupcaketastic (59 months ago | reply)
It was a first wedding cake. As for how much I charged, I only covered my costsfor a couple of reasons, I am not a professional or registered and the bride is the daughter of a friend.

Gosh.. I sure lovely to marry again for this cake :)

You don't have to get married to have a fab cake.
dogfaceboy (58 months ago | reply)
I don't think Polly's is the originator of this cake. A variation is in Colette Peters's book, Cakes to Dream On, and Duff Goldman of Charm City Cakes has been making these forever. By now, they are pretty much standard.
I have to say that your is as good as any I've ever seen. (And I just a wrote a nonfiction book about cake!)
cupcaketastic (58 months ago | reply)
Onglets you don't need to get married to have a fab cake!
Dogfaceboy, I agree with you in general as there are now many tilted cakes out there now, both published and one offs. But I do know from looking at Polly's site that this cake (colours & detail) is pretty much hers. But as the picture that I had of the cake which the bride wanted was of a cake that had been recreated from picture in a mag, I don't think I am stepping on too many toes. But for me it was nice to know and recoginse the orginial designer. I hope that this makes sence.
I am interested in your book on cake! Let me know more.
