I made this birdcage wedding cake for Siobhan and Darren last weekend.  They live in England but got married in Leixlip.  They loved the pale blue wedding cake that I had made for the Dublin Sugarcraft show but wanted it in a darker shade of blue, so it would look like the night sky.  I think the navy icing actually looks pretty dramatic with the white details over it. 

The bottom tier is a 10″ chocolate biscuit cake, covered in navy sugarpaste and white sugarveil icing.  The top tier is three 7″ white chocolate and lime cakes stacked and carved into the birdcage shape.  I piped the bars and scroll designs with royal icing, and handmade the hydrangea blossoms and roses from flower paste.
