Grey and Cream Cake


Here is the cake I created for Cake Central Magazine. 


 This was the inspiration board I was sent to work from. Cake Central Magazine asked me to create a grey and cream cake including elements from the photos above to showcase how a simpler design, with fewer embellishments, can still make a big statement. The delicate sheen of the pearl encrusted top tier was created using lustre dust and silver shimmer was added to the grey flowers to give them a vintage fabric feel.
