Very much not your traditional wedding cake, but utterly decadent and delicious. Four, 11” layers of cherry chocolate sponge with black cherry jam, kirsch drizzle, black cherries in kirsch and vanilla buttercream, wrapped in chocolate buttercream. Fresh cherries are out of season, so I decorated with a mix of chocolate-dipped maraschino cherries, white and dark chocolate shards and spheres, with ombre basketweave piping and highlights of 24ct edible gold leaf.
Bonus points if you can tell what I’m wearing from the first photo (without cheating and going to the next shot!)
I took inspiration for the ombre basketweave piping from Enna 🎀 | Cloud Cakes ☁️ NORWICH NR3
