Tiffany Box Cake

Last week, I received a request to make a Tiffany Box.  I gave my client two options in terms of the size of the cake.  She ordered the cake for a friend's combined Birthday Party and I think she wanted a cake for 8- 10 people.  The dimensions of the cake I offered her was perfect for a party of that size.

My client could choose between a rectangular cake or cube box Tiffany cake~  She chose the rectangular one.

So I started to make the cake in the specified size. This cake is covered in some awesome  rich chocolate ganache!!

I made the fondant out of a mixture of green and blue colouring. There was definitely more blue than green.

This is probably the dumb way of constructing the cake, but I basically measured each side and cut my fondant into panels, then placed them on each side of the cake! It took me ages to get the measurements correct!! >.<




I placed a thing layer of marzipan on the top, under the lid~

 I think this layer of marzipan helps to make the surface of the lid smoother and also it make the cake taste extra special~

Lid on the box. OMG! I nearly had a heart attack making this because I was very anxious about how it will turn out!!

 
With God's blessing, my Tiffany Cake turned out perfect!!
