I made this cake at a class taught by the wonderful Gráinne MacClancy of www.acakeforyou.ie.  I absolutely adore this cake – I think it would be a fantastic cake for an intimate wedding, or for a very special birthday.  It was 3 small cakes (6″ and 7″) stacked on top of each other, carved into the correct shape and covered with sugarpaste.  Then I piped on the cage “bars” with royal icing and decorated it with birds and flowers.

Someone please order a cake like this from me, as I am dying to make it again
