Patrick from Leixlip ordered this cake.  He and his wife were having a 25th Wedding Anniversary party.  It was quite a large cake – a 12″ fruit cake bottom tier and an 8″ fruit cake top tier.  I covered both tiers in marzipan and ivory sugarpaste.  I made the ribbons on top from flower paste and decorated them with edible glitter.  The numbers “25″ are also made from flower paste, and painted with edible silver paint.  I piped the swirls and dots with royal icing and finished the cake with silver dragees down the sides.
