Our finest cake chefs lift the lid on their most incredible edible creation 

Laura Cerra of Cakes By Laura in Fairfield said making a plain-looking cake can often be just as difficult as mastering icing with hand made flowers or ruffles.

“The goal with every cake is to make it as crisp and clean as possible,” she said.

“When a bride says to me she wants a plain cake with a ribbon, that can be really hard. When something isn’t quite right, it really shows.

Working with geometric shapes and patterns is also a challenge, but black and white colours is uniquely difficult, Ms Cerra said.

“Black and white has always been the most challenging because you are working with colours that are very unforgiving,” she said.

Other styles, including hand made flowers, are also time consuming and take hours of practice, but Ms Cerra said the results kept her returning to the challenge.

“It’s a labour of love — that’s what I call it,” she said.
