A true marvel that effortlessly captures the grandeur and romance of a bygone era, ‘Florence’ stands as a beautifully orchestrated symphony of historical and architectural influences.  

Inspired by the ethereal beauty of the Palm Room at Spencer House, London, this opulent creation unfolds in seven tiers decorated with Royal Icing in hues of ivory and soft-sage green, embellished with lavish gilded detailing and a captivating representation of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. 

Elegance takes centre stage with arches that echo the grace of Baroque vaulted cupolas, their symmetrical allure framed by intricately hand-painted palm leaf details in 24-carat edible gold. The palm leaf motif weaves throughout the masterpiece in uniform repeating patterns, the eye only further enchanted by meticulously hand-crafted sugar flowers. 

In homage to the fragrant blooms cherished by Catherine de Medici of Florence during the Renaissance, three opulent bouquets showcasing Yevnig’s fine mastery of sugar craft and an unparalleled attention to detail, are abundant with roses, dahlias and soft flowing foliage. These delicate arrangements, coupled with a resplendent floral urn sitting atop, add a touch of femininity to the sheer magnificence of this extraordinary cake.  

‘Florence’ stands not just as an example of cake artistry but as a testament to the timeless allure of history and craftsmanship.
