Today I’m sharing a few pictures of my latest wedding creations.  First up is the bride’s cake, a stunning, 4 tiered cake complete with a “fishbowl” and twinkle lights.

The design of this cake was all the bride’s idea.  She had photos of two different cakes that she wanted combined into her perfect wedding cake.

A very unique detail of this cake was the vase incorporated into it. Inside the vase was a photo of the bride and groom, a small string of white twinkle lights, and a few gum paste roses.

Also adorning the cake were 20 handmade, gum paste roses. I was so pleased with how these roses turned out!

More roses… Sorry about that, but I’m kinda partial to those roses. Each one took about 15 minutes to make. So, if you do the math, that’s a total of five hours spent just making roses!

The wedding cake consisted of four tiers – 6”, 8”, 10”, and 14” and served approximately 115.  The bride and groom chose vanilla cake with strawberry and cream cheese filling.  The cake is iced with cream cheese and covered with homemade fondant, and the details were piped with buttercream icing.
