It looks simple. It really wasn’t.
This was the fun cake for a wedding evening reception, and it came with a few challenges of its own. A realistic black ball that was big enough to make an impact but light enough to sit safely on the cake board, plus more than 70 individual handmade chain links that all had to be joined and draped so the whole thing looked like a real chain rather than 70 bits of sugar stuck to a cake.
It was a lot of fiddling, problem solving and slightly obsessive attention to detail, but that’s what I enjoy about cakes like this. The finished cake might look simple. Getting it to look simple is another matter.
