Anyone who knows us will know that we love anything with a ‘natural glamour’ feel to it. Eye-catching florals, luxurious metallics and a little touch of something wild and untamed. This cake, and it’s gorgeous styled set-up, definitely encompasses all of those things! Obviously, we’re huge fans of a gold sequin drip wedding cake too.
Glamorous rustic gold sequin drip wedding cake!
We created this rustic buttercream cake for the lovely Katie and Chris’ big day! Two very tall tiers (around 7″ deep) finished with a messy white buttercream effect, glam gold sequin drip and a touch of 24k gold leaf! The deep bottom tier was in the couple’s favourite flavour… Coconut and lemon; fluffy Madagascan vanilla cake filled with our Sicilian lemon curd and creamy coconut infused buttercream. For a fun surprise the top tier was a bright rainbow cake with red, yellow, green and purple layers filled with our popular Taittinger champagne and strawberry preserve and vanilla bean buttercream!
How gorgeous are these flowers supplied by the wonderful Forage and Blossom? We fell in love with the teeny tiny peach roses. We dressed the cake with it’s pretty blooms, fresh macarons and sweet meringue kisses at the venue, which was fun. It’s great to work in the finished setting. Usually, we like to finalise everything before delivery and then do a few small adjustments. It was amazing to see the gorgeous marquee set up at the bride’s family home and finish the cake surrounded by a bright fresh floral adorned vintage dressing table!
Katie and Chris opted for our freshly made macarons and meringue kisses too! Macarons are perfect on a gold sequin drip wedding cake! Flavours included our popular Golden Salted Caramel flavour studded with glistening edible sequins filled with our homemade salted caramel sauce. The pretty white macarons feature a luxuriously fun gold splatter and a Vanilla and White Chocolate truffle ganache filling.
We loved the gold mirror topper the couple found for their wedding too! It works perfectly with the golden hints on the cake. We nestled it off to the side so it balanced out the top tier decorations and that pretty gold sequin drip. We also added in a white candy melt ‘sail’ perched behind the florals alongside the gold topper. That added a nice bit of height and drama without taking away focus from the roses and foliage!
We hope Katie and Chris enjoyed an amazing day! We love delivering and setting up every cake, but this was such a gorgeous marquee wedding! Lots of thanks to Forage and Blossom flowers and Eden & Eve wedding planning too for the stunning florals and set up!
