For Father’s Day we created this elegant yet simple Wedgwood style birdcage cake! One half of Juniper Cakery has an avid Wedgwood collector and fan for a dad so we thought a classic Wedgwood inspired cake would be the perfect gift. It is a soft vanilla cake filled with home made raspberry conserve and vanilla pod infused buttercream.

Details of this cake were inspired by several jasperware pieces in the classic Wedgwood blue. We used tiny white blossoms that were originally used to create swags on a jasperware pot to add texture to the top which we based on a vaulted ceiling design. We also created simple hand painted fondant cameos and adorned the tops of them with delicate bows. We then mimicked the bow detail with a ribbon border at the base of the cake.
