My brief this time was for an orange cake with flowers. This cake is an old favourite of ours, and has a buttery icing moistened with orange juice. Orange segments are moulded from white chocolate, rinds painted, then dusted with champagne lustre dust. Orange blossoms are fashioned from mouldable white chocolate, and the tiny flowers are turned out of moulds. The central rose is formed of crystallised orange slices that were semi-dried before rolling into shape. The birthday girl is happy. 😊
