A bit of delish for you this fine Sunday, lovely Sunshine Coast brides. This cake is three layers of cherry ripe mud cake, covered in rich dark chocolate ganache and finished with white sugar paste. The roses are handmade from sugar paste, and the whole cake is wrapped in a handmade sugar paste bow. Delightful!

This gorgeous wedding cake was made for Angie and Gavin, were married on Friday at…
