'He Asked, She Said Yes' Engagement Cake


'He Asked, She Said Yes' Engagement Cake


Recommended Tutorial for the Rose 


The Story behind this Cake


This cake was made for my own engagement party. I wanted something that had a wow factor and that also was elegant.
 
I have seen many Ruffle cakes about and have been wanting to try out the technique for months.  I found a tutorial by Sharon Wee Creations which really helped me to create the ruffles.
I covered my cake in layer of fondant first and then started adding on the fondant ruffles. Had I known how long they would have taken I may not have started!! Several hours later it was complete. I loved the look of it!  
I had one of those moments where you sit back look at a cake and just can't help but smile and squeal in delight as the image in your head is created in front of you.
 
For the top tier I wanted to do a silhouette but I wanted it to look different as there are so many of the same engagement silhouette cakes out there ( The man one bended knee)
I also loved the look of some invitations and engagement photo shoots I had seen that had the words 'He asked, She said Yes' and fell in love with the wording.
I created two sketches one of which had the lettering in the middle of the top tier and one which had a silhouette (the man on bended knee as I hadn't found the silhouette I wanted)

I posted this to a closed cake group I am in on Facebook for their in deciding which one to go with as I loved them both! The response was amazing, I had a couple of hundred likes and several hundred comments most of which suggested I either had one on the front and the other on the back to create a two sided cake or to merge the two themed together.

So I merged them together and feel in love with the design again! I wanted the 'Yes' part of the saying to really stand out, as most of mine and my Fiancés friends and family have waited for the engagement for a while :) 
I chose to do this lettering freehand by rolling out a thin rope of fondant and laying it over a font I had found and printed out to the size I needed.

I did not buy the Silhouette. This was done by finding an image on google that I liked, printing off at the correct size and cutting it out by hand on to fondant.
The rose's on the top finished the cake of perfectly, and was another technique I was desperate to add after seeing McGreevy's Rose tutorial on YouTube not having had the chance to practice them yet. 

The top tier was a vanilla sponge with vanilla buttercream and raspberry jam.
The Bottom tier was a chocolate sponge with a vanilla buttercream.

The cupcakes were lemon, vanilla and chocolate orange. I designed the printed topper myself to match the theme of the top tier and left the other cupcakes fairly basic as not to distract from the main cake itself.
