The Bold and the Beautiful

Last week I had two wedding cakes to tackle.  One was muted, rustic, and rather traditional in style.  The other one was not.

As you can see, this cake was bold and colorful and not afraid to be the center of attention.  Definitely not your traditional wedding cake!

I spent the better part of the week sculpting 24 brightly colored roses to adorn this cake.  On top of that, I also made a handful of loose petals to sprinkle around the cake topper.

The cake decorator’s proudest moment – when the cake is safely delivered, set up, and ready to be enjoyed!

This bold and beautiful wedding cake was composed of an 8” chocolate tier with strawberry filling, a 12” strawberry tier with chocolate buttercream filling, and a 14” vanilla tier with raspberry filling.  The cake was iced with vanilla buttercream and adorned with handmade gum paste roses. This cake served approximately 150.
