A Special Frangapani Cake

I haven't made many cakes in the past few months but I was more than happy to oblige my good friend who had recently lost her beautiful mum.  She wanted a cake for her daughter Stephanie, who shared her birthday with her nan.  Like always she left me to design the cake and here are some of the stages of the design.

The cake was designed as a symbol of Stephanie's special relationship with her mum and her nan.

The top tier represented her journey through life. The bottom tier being Stephanies mum and signifies her ability to provide Steph strength and stability in her life.

The texture on the cake symbolises the many trials ...and successes throughout her life and reflects how they are dealt and celebrated together as a whanau.

The pedestal represents the need to find strong balance in life in order to achieve positive outcomes.

The whole cake is brought together with a spray of frangipani flowers.

The flowers represented Stephanies nan, her culture and her legacy she has left including sisters, brother, niece, nephew and future generations.

They are sprayed around the cake as a symbol of her nan's love for Stephanie and a reminder that she will continue to guide her through her life.

 

I really loved this cake and I am so happy how it came out.

 

Happy living people!!
