Have I mentioned that wedding cakes scare me? Yeah. They scare me. Mostly because that's a very special day for two people and ruining their wedding cake just isn't an option. However, I agreed to do a wedding cake for a good friend that I go to church with.
This cake, by the way, is the one I promised to show here almost two months ago. I'm not too eager to show it still, but since I promised and all here goes.
I'm not particularly ready to show it off for two reasons. One, there was a small cake crisis involved and two, I was also in the middle of a camera crisis so I don't have very good photos.
The crisis involved the middle tier of a three tier cake sliding ridiculously bad, me freaking out, taking the cake apart, re-stacking it, cake was still sliding, taking apart again and removing the sliding tier only to be left with a two tier cake that wasn't really so great. The bride was completely understanding and sweet about the whole thing but in the end I was greatly disappointed.
This is the cake...
The theme was fall. Some fall flowers were added, but I didn't get pictures of that. The bride wanted an all ivory cake and I added the fall leaves and such with some gold dust painted on them. The bottom tier was chocolate cake with nutello filling and the top tier was white almond cake with buttercream filling. The middle tier that was still very edible just not pretty was yellow cake, with cream cheese filling and strawberries. I blame the strawberries. The cake was covered with marshmallow fondant which is why I could take it apart twice without too much of a mess.
it is cute! You are soo great at this!
