The Great Gatsby Cake

The Great Gatsby Cake, Black Gold, Logo building black ganache.


Hi Everyone I hope your holidays have been treating you well? Thought I would just quickly share my Great Gatsby themed cake with you all!

I have had such a super crazy week and I madly put this cake together at the last minute. My original design was going to be a fair bit different but due to circumstances out of my control I had to quickly redesign it.

I was upset my originally planned flowers and feathers didn't make it - OMGOSH!!  Never and I mean NEVER rush large flowers - they will just not dry in time!  Ooops! And they don't like to be moved before hand!


Have a look at what didn't make it - I think my edible  wafer paper feathers came out awesome! I am super keen to make another cake using edible feathers and flowers in the future - but definitely at a less hectic time of year!

What was not meant to be!


I feel a bit disappointed that it didn't all work out as originally planned but my friend said she was happy so hopefully she really was! LOL!! And I do feel a lot more confident in attempting large flowers again.

Oh and of course this cake is covered in Black Coloured Ganache. Instead of using white chocolate, I used Dark and coloured with Americolor Super Black. (My normal Coloured Ganache Recipe is here)


Thanks so much for looking! 

P.S. And Happy new Year everyone! I just realised this was my first cake for 2015! 

What do you think? Did I convey the Great Gatsby Theme despite missing the accessories? Let me know in the comments section below! (I love comments!)
