Gucci Dress Cake: a bespoke birthday cake by Lily Vanilli

Gucci Dress Cake

A few weeks ago the lovely Laura Jackson came to see me. She wanted a bespoke birthday cake to celebrate her 30th.

After showing me a picture of her dress, a beautiful pink Gucci number, we decided that the cake had to match.

So I got to work on a cake inspired by the pink Gucci dress.

The overall flavour of the cake was coconut. Its body consisted of a gorgeous coconut sponge with shredded coconut sandwiched between the layers with buttercream.

 

To match the Gucci dress, I settled on a delicate pink ombre effect for the decoration. I topped it off with seasonal flowers and gold details.

I think she looked happy with it as she blew out the candles!

Happy birthday Laura!
