Shocking Lime Wedding Cake

by Rochelle Walters
(Colorado Springs)

This is my first cake done with Rolled Butter cream. The bride,(a friend I work with) doesn't like the taste of fondant but wanted me to get her the look of it!
Well, let me tell you..... that is about the hardest stuff I have ever worked with!
I loved the outcome of this one. It has definitely jump started my enthusiasm to work hard and create lots more.
The wedding colors were lime green and black! I was very nervous about the color I had chosen for the icing but that went away the second I took the cake in to set it up. The wedding was beautiful!

This cake is a three tier white cake with whipped strawberry filling...funny thing, the bride doesn't like the taste of lemon or lime:)

Rolled buttercream is difficult to work with but gives a great shine to the finished cake.

Decorated with black royal icing dots, black ribbon and fresh limes and lemons. The leaves are also fresh and I think gave this cake a beautiful accent.
