I made our wedding cake and was so pleased with it

I did 12in fruitcake, 10in chocolate fudge, 8in madiera and 6in fruit. We're keeping the 6in cake for our first anniversary, the rest was cut and all the madiera and chocolate cake got eaten although there is quite a bit of fruit cake left over, have been eating it breakfast lunch and dinner for the last few days :rotfl:

Perhaps I should have made the fruit cake smaller, but it is traditional! And personally I don't understand why people aren't so fond of it

Lots of inspiration from you guys as always, I wonder what I'll be making next...

Hi everyone, I have to ice a light fruit cake with fondant, do I need to use anything before putting the fondant on? Obviously with a dark fruit cake I would use marzipan too?
TIA x

Thanks

Hi Awesome I've not been taught as such, I've just picked it up as I've gone along. I fiddle with the fondant as if its playdough till I'm happy with it, must say tho the last cake with Peppa,George etc took a full day to do but I'm not sure if that's cos I wasn't really in the mood and things always seem to take longer!

Oh dear my 12 yr old son is wanting an assassins creed cake.I can not bake and dont know where to start.
Would like a choccy cake easy to make and if anyone of you lovely talented people can tell me a good recipe I be forever in your debt
It has a black background and words.
Can you buy the letters?I am really really awful with things like this but will feel very proud if I can pull something off.
