Britany

When my sis in-law Brit got married she asked me if I would do her cake and I was super excited to be able to do it. She didn't have a whole lot of requests for what it should look like other than she wanted it to be white on white and she did like the cakes that were square and round stacked so I took that and came up with something I was hoping would work. I was so nervous that she would hate what I came up with I made sure that I called and let her know the basics of what it was going to look like so she wouldn't be disappointed on her wedding day. Her cake was a 3 tiered chocolate cake with a plain buttercream filling and then covered in a marshmallow fondant. The middle tier had small royal icing hearts piped on and the ascending spray of calla lilies were hand made out of gumpaste and painted in a shimmer pearl dust. I had to travel about 20 minutes to the reception area with this cake and I had all the flowers in the back of the car not realizing that the road was relatively bumpy and they are all hooked on wires that bounce around and made the flowers bang together. I figured out what was going on about 2 minutes before I got there and already had plans to run to a craft store if needed to get some fake flowers. Thankfully gumpaste is not quite as fragile as I expected and the cake and flowers all made it looking great so that I could hurry and put it all together.
