The cake wall will be lavender and white, but it will probably be lavender diamonds against white. This is one of my newly-piped summer coating decorations&#8230; which hasn&#8217;t bent over from the heat&#8230; at least not in the first five minutes. Note that the white chocolate ganache on the top has begun to flow. My newer version of the ganache is a bit more stable in the heat.<\/p>\n<p>I just received a bag of professionally crystalized rose petals to use on the final version, but I&#8217;m still waiting for the decorating grill to make the diamond cake wall.<\/p>\n<p>You probably can&#8217;t see it here, but there are a couple of flecks of gold on the top. I ordered $35 worth of pure (edible) gold flakes but I have no idea how many flakes are actually in the box because it&#8217;s opaque and they don&#8217;t make noise when you shake it. I think they weigh a gram, so it could be a lot because they&#8217;re so light that they get caught on wind currents when you try to shake them out of the holes and there&#8217;s no way you can get them to hit the cake. You have to put them onto waxed paper and flick them one-at-a-time onto the cake top. There&#8217;s probably a better way but I haven&#8217;t found it yet. It&#8217;s a bit of work, but I think we all need to eat a little gold at least once in our lives and Kris and Shaun&#8217;s wedding is a good time to do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is not the final version but it&#8217;s close enough that this photo can be a placeholder for now.
