Simple elegance

We got a call for a pretty yellow cake to celebrate a woman's 60th birthday. Her favourite colour was yellow and she loved calla lilies.

We kept it simple by covering the cake in a soft yellow fondant and adding a quilted effect, with white dragée pearls. Then, we added the calla lilies. For an added touch of elegance, Joanne added draping fondant "fabric" over the cake. It was her first time trying out this technique, but it turned out really well.
The cake is Sachin's Limoncello cake, with Limoncello glaze and Limoncello buttercream. It's fresh, light and delicious; perfect for spring and summer!
