Hermes Box Birthday Cake

Cake Project Brief

This was a fabulous design for a cake. We were asked to recreate a Hermes box for a lady who is lucky enough to own several of the designer items.

How We Made The Cake

Although on the surface this looks like a simple cake there is a lot of work involved in creating a "box" from sugar. The sides are all measured and calculated for the shrinkage that occurs when sugar dries. We made a "lid" that could be removed revealing the cake inside, however, to finish the cake properly we added a sugar ribbons and hand painted the Hermes logo on to the top of the sugar lid.

Cake Ingredients

A rich coffee and walnut cake filled with a creamy espresso buttercream.
