Elegant White Cheongsum Cake with edible lace, beads and 3D Floral Appliques

Florence ordered this cake as a birthday gift for her good friend Evelyn.
She liked my last set of Peranankan Kebaya Inspired Cheongsum with traditional elements such as the floral embroidery, bead and bold colour.  Florence requested me to use that as the main inspiration for this ensemble but with white on white details and diamond accent.


 

To add more luxurious details, I decided to use edible corded lace accented with three dimensional flowers and scalloped edges.

 

 
 
Chinese knot button was crafted free hand out of fondant.
 
 
 
My favourite is the statement three dimension floral appliques crafted out of gumpaste, and the subtle sheen of pearl dust on the button, laces and scalloped edges.
 
 
 
Cake flavour was chocolate mud cake with chocolate ganache with crunchy pearls on the bottom tier, lemon cake with lemon swiss meringue buttercream on the top tier.
