No detail spared.  Even the smallest speck of cake was dusted off the mirrored cake stand with a Q-tip.

    Oh my goodness but they are beautiful! It always makes me sad that these amazing works of art...get eaten. I am sure they are very tasty, but seriously...the time and creativity...gone in one meal. :(

    Those cakes look scrumtious! My vote has to go to the chocolate biscuit, but I wouldn't say "no" to either one. Now I'm hungry.
