Karen from Sutton ordered this cake for her sister Adrienne’s 30th birthday.  Adrienne (known as Ade to her friends) is motorbike-mad.  Karen asked me to incorporate the colours pink, white, purple, black and silver – so I covered the cake in pink and white marbled sugarpaste.  I then made the flat motorbike design from separate pieces of silver, black and purple sugarpaste, and pieced them together like a jigsaw.

The cake itself was an 8-inch vanilla sponge, filled with vanilla buttercream and covered with vanilla buttercream and sugarpaste.
