VW camper van wedding cake



My knowledge of VW camper vans has greatly improved since designing Elaine and Eytans VW camper van wedding cake.


The cutting and shaping of the chocolate cake was the hardest part, due to the tricky nature of chocolate. Regulating the temperature is often difficult; I was fortunate to have a few cool days to work in.


I built a platform to raise the cake enough to allow for the wheels, creating the illusion that the cake was supported by them. It was very lucky that Elaine and Eytan had a little model VW camper van which I was able to borrow to calculate the size of the cake. The stencils I created a few weeks earlier fitted perfectly. Of course it is always easier to copy a model than a picture, no matter the size! I am always amazed at how time consuming and fiddly novelty wedding cakes are - the VW camper van wedding cake was certainly one of them.
