Wedding Cake

A few friends hired me to make their wedding cake. Their colors were creamy white and dusty rose, and they liked the almond icing on white cakes, and lemon icing on lemon cakes. So the solution was to make floating tiers with a lemon cake in the middle. These are 8, 14, and 18 inch tiers. The flowers are gumpaste that I hand painted with edible color. Painting the flowers was actually a lot of fun!



This is the finished product.




And this is a shot of the top tier. To serve their number, we actually had to cut all 3 tiers. I provided a 6 inch cake separately for them to take home for their 1 year anniversary.
