Gail's 40th Birthday Chanel Cake
I was delighted to make this cake for my friend Gail from GailsRails.ie.
Fashion is obviously a big part of Gail's life so this was the perfect cake for her and the colours were appropriate for her big black tie birthday bash!
I'd love to take credit for the design, but unfortunately I can't take all of it - the design is my take on the original by Always with Cake.
It is three layers of Chocolate biscuit. The top and bottom layers have the black and white nautical stripes pattern made famous by Coco Chanel.
On the middle tier I made my first ever attempt at damasking, and while I was very nervous about it, it turns out there's nothing to it!! The middle tier was then finished off with the iconic Chanel No 5 logo, with a twist.
Finishing touches on the cake are a handmade bow, handmade flower and a set of handmade pearls.
I'm really delighted with how this one turned out.
Happy Birthday Gail!
