Cakebook Gherkin construction (day1)

Construction began this evening....

After wrapping the cake stand in clingfilm, I began the fun part, threading the cakes on in blocks of seven...The first block

Then the next layer, fourteen

Another block, and another! That's 28 there - count them if you don't believe me.

Then the cakes were carved (by Mr Lisa) to create that gherkin-top

And the final job for the night was covering the entire cake in buttercream.


















 
There we go, all done!

Tools down, beer open....
