This is another red velvet cake made for Zana’s sister’s birthday. As she wanted a red velvet cake, I couldn’t make a half opened treasure chest cake for fear that the lid might be too heavy (to be made with styrofoam) for the cake. Hence, the result is this closed treasure chest cake. It does look like a jewellery box cake too 🙂
Zana said that her sister loves all things pretty. Hence the pearls and gumpaste cymbidium orchids.
Made this red velvet cake for Zana’s Hari Raya open house. The cake was finished before she had a chance to taste them…haa..haa.
When I first saw the picture of the cake that Diana wanted, I thought the design looked like fish scales, very nice scales they are. It was only when I was at Diana’s place that one of her friends said that it’s a rose petal cake. There are in fact some loose petals at the bottom tier. Hence, I shall call this a rose petal cake 🙂
These are the 3 tiers of lemon poppy seed cake, all crumb coated with butter cream.
The top and bottom 2 tiers all ready to be transported.
Close up of all the petals on the bottom 2 tiers. Must have cut out hundreds of those petals for the 3 layers!
And this is how the final cake looks like.
