Madhatter Wedding Cake

I made this madhatter cake for Natalie and Zachary's wedding this week. They are getting married on Saturday but wanted to pick the cake up today(Thursday) which is a really great idea as it saves money on delivery and doesn't leave all the running around til the last minute.

Natalie's mum was still getting over the fact that they weren't having a traditional wedding cake but both agreed the cake looked great and just what the couple were after!

There are many different ways that people make madhatters (or wonky/whimsical cakes as some like to call them). I am a big believer that the art of cake making is a way for the cake artist to express their own style and ideas but this madhatter shape is by far my favourite. The sharp edges and the carving just give a great wow factor.

To learn this style I attended at cake demo last year at Planet Cake and found it so useful. I'm not sure if they are running this as a demo any more but it is well worth attending a workshop.
