Vogue, December 2006 – 90th Anniversary collectors issue.
Happy birthday Vogue, what finer way to celebrate than with a Rachel Mount cake... Pâtisserie artist Rachel Mount was commissioned to create one of her elaborate edible sculptures for Vogue's 90th birthday. A lemon buttercream sponge decorated in hand-modelled sugar, the sculpture reflects the Vogue team's twin passions: fashion and cake.
After viewing Rachel’s exhibition at Sotheby’s Alexandra Shulman commissioned Rachel to design Vogue their 90th anniversary cake. Rachel embraced the challenge and after
extensive research produced a collection of design sketches. The Vogue team chose one depicting 90 years of couture models stepping out of sugar magazine pages. After
sampling the cake flavours they chose lemon zest as the cake centre. The cake was made in two and three tier versions. The two tier version was used for the full page photo spread in the collector’s issue. Alexandra liked the photo of the cake so much that she used it on the front cover of their party invitation card.
Their glittering fashionista party was held in November at the Serpentine Gallery. Rachel’s three tier version of the design was the much commented on party centrepiece.

Rachel’s tumbling sugar shoe cake had caught Vanessa’s eye and she asked if Vogue could have exclusive on featuring of this design. They required a second image for the feature and Rachel designed a Vogue theme cake inspired by vintage Vogue photo shoots. The large elaborate design depicted 1950’s fashion house couture models.
