Crystal Chic in the City

The bride had seen and fallen in love with this cake when she saw our display at a wedding fayre.

Each of the five tiers was decorated with a simple white satin ribbon and a hand strung band of stunningly sparkling Swarovski crystals which co-ordinated perfectly with the offset separators. Each of the separators was hand strung with Swarovski crystals which cascaded between the tiers to give the effect of water droplets - a design inspired by Ron Ben Israel and his amazing cake that featured in the film Sex and the City 2. The design was completed with stylish, scented orchids giving a truly opulent and sophisticated centrepiece to the stunning venue.
