You don’t need a towering confection to make a statement, especially when you have these gorgeous single-tier cakes with the prettiest details and packed with the yummiest flavours! 

 

#1 Fresh fruits + a dash of gold

Let the vibrant hues of luscious fruits shine, then up the glamour with edible gold paint brushed around the tier.
