As it turns out, I ended up with 2 orders for cherry blossom cakes in the same week! One for the 50th birthday of the mother of a school friend, and one for the 60th birthday of a friend of the family.
Both these cakes were coconut cake, with milk chocolate ganache and brushed with cherry liqueur syrup. Both were also covered in fondant. The cherry blossoms and numbers were all hand made out of sugar paste and hand painted. The trunk of each tree was chocolate paste, hand rolled and distressed.
My favourite part of these cakes though, is the sugar paste covered tea light candles. Each petal was hand cut and rolled, and all carefully put together to bloom outwards for a pretty and sophisticated take on a traditional candle.
