Run Away Groom Cake

The runaway grooms cake is chocolate with a chocolate ganache filling. The tiers are covered in almond flavor fondant. The ribbons are real. The cake topper I found very funny, the vine and leaves going up the tiers is all fondant.

The cake is 3 layers with the second layer trimmed at the top and base with different ribbons. The base of the 2nd tier has the patterned ribbon and this is also used around the sides of the top tier. The leaves are cut from black fondant and attached to the branch which extends from the bottom to the top of the cake, twisting around as it goes up.
