A wedding cake for a couple getting "stuck together" forever. Chocolate cake with daim chocolate filling and vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream topping. The "sand" is edible but I made the toppers from clay so they could be kept.

The real challenge with this cake was it was for a wedding in the Netherlands. I transported all the cake elements, plus equipment, from Norway to the Netherlands and assembled it there. Everything went to plan though and it was a fun experience.

A simple but effective "naked" cake- for a 30th birthday. Naked meaning no, or in this case, reduced, frosting. This is a fluffy sponge cake filled with fresh mango curd and fresh mango swiss meringue buttercream, covered with more of the buttercream and decorated with fondant numbers and some white chocolate spheres.

Enkel "Naked" bursdagskake til en 30 årsdag. Kaken er sukkerbrød fylt med mango curd og mango sveitsisk marengssmørkrem. Kaken er trekt med mer smørekrem, tallene er laget fra fondant og kuler er hvit sjokolade.
