My Wedding Cake

by Emily Easterly
(Chicago, IL USA)

I made this cake for my wedding last July. I made it on dummies since the wedding was a good 600 miles from where I lived. (from Nashville to Florida).. The tiers are all covered in fondant with fondant, gum paste, and buttercream details. The silver was painted over the white buttercream using a small paintbrush and silver airbrush color.

The top of the cake is covered in white gum paste roses. The bottom layer has these roses applied equidistant apart. The top tier also features fondant and gum paste drapes. The 2nd tier down from the top has cornelli lace done in royal icing. The next tier down is a harlequin diamond design. At the base of this tier is a gum paste bow. The next tier down from that is a scroll pattern.
