A dream collaboration

This is a lovely story of an unexpected cake order and a collaboration made in heaven! ⁠

My lovely friend @suzanneespercakeschool recently got in touch to ask if I would be interested in working with her on a cake collaboration for the incredible cake industry icon @calli_creations who was about to celebrate a milestone birthday!⁠
⁠Being that Suzy is in Scotland and I am in Cornwall - different ends of the UK - I wasn't entirely sure how it would work at first but after she told me the whole story I just had to say yes!⁠

Suzy was had been commissioned by Calli's husband and bestie Paula from Australia @cakesbypaulie who wanted the cake to represent both her heritage in South Africa and birth place in London. As well an incorporating her super gorgeous doggy Theo...⁠
⁠As the design discussions between them all unfolded talks about painting a London skyline came up and that is when she popped me a call and asked if I would like to be involved too! How could I say no!!⁠
⁠So our little collaboration was born with Suzy doing her magic on sugar flowers, Paulie making Theo the dog and myself painting a london Skyline - A dream team! ⁠
⁠My painted tier was a dummy cake which I shipped up to Scotland where Suzy put it all together with her 2 cake tiers and arranged the flowers etc - don't they look incredible!⁠

I am happy to say that Calli loved it and happy tears were shed! ⁠

The lovely dust colours that I used to paint the London skyline and orange sunset effect are by Suzanne Esper (she used them to colour her flowers too!) You can find them on her website by clicking the link below!
