Lemon and Elderflower Cake

Copycat royal wedding cake:
Lemon and Elderflower Cake is a showstopper and celebratory cake of 2018.

This is one showstopper cake, with fresh flowers adorning the cake.
My best ever cake that I baked for 2018!
Lemon and Elderflower Cake, a copycat royal wedding cake of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, baked by Claire Ptak for the occasion.
Since this is a copycat royal wedding cake, I took the liberty to decorate my Lemon and Elderflower Cake with fresh white roses.
What do you think? Does my Lemon and Elderflower Cake, make a nice fit for weddings? :D

I did a google search for this gorgeous Lemon and Elderflower Cake, and of course, it was a trending cake to bake in the second quarter of the year, from April to June, due the royal wedding.
Can't blame a girl for wanting to have a piece of that royal wedding cake too, right? :P
But one blog that popped up into view, she was not on the first page of google search but she baked this beautiful Lemon and Elderflower Cake way back in 2015.
Louise of Cygnet Kitchen, baked a beautiful Lemon and Elderflower Cake with mascarpone frosting.
Hop over to her blog for some seriously drool-worthy photos (giving a shout out to blogs that inspire me, especially in photography :D )
For my Lemon and Elderflower Cake, BBC food is my recipe source (with some tweak here and there).




The flavours of elderflower and lemon goes so well together.
Again, I have to say... this Lemon and Elderflower Cake is best cake I have ever baked and ever tasted, even my daughter, who is not into 'cakes' loved the exquisite taste of elderflower marrying lemon.
Even my week long hard laboring over her 'pretty' Honey and Raspberries Entremet birthday cake comes second!
The recipe requires a small amount of elderflower cordial, right!
Worry not! You will definitely enjoy some fizzy elderflower drink. Just mix some elderflower cordial with carbonated mineral water.
Awesome drink and not to mention... its less sugar too :P

Apart from the awesome taste... second reason as to why I like about this Lemon and Elderflower Cake... no pretentious frosting is needed here (if you have been following me... you will know that frosting a cake is definitely not my forte!! Frosting a cake frustrate me).
Since the theme is floral, I gladly hide my frosting imperfections with flowers.
Do take note, any which way you can.. do get flowers that are not sprayed with pesticides or insecticides.
Any how.... give this Lemon and Elderflower Cake a try and you will definitely be baking them again.
On last note...
If life gives you lots of lemons... bake some

Note :
For those who wish to bake copycat Lemon and Elderflower Cake, you can find elderflower cordial in the cordial aisle of Woollies or Coles (Australia).
This is just an approximation

I think this is the prettiest cake I've ever seen! I may just have to take up baking :)
ReplyDeleteStunning! elegant, beautiful, and again I am blown away by how straight you get your cake layers... so impressive! makes me want to get better, if I only knew how... :-)
