Wedding Cakes {I Did It!}

Let's just say that the anticipation was killing me as the date approached for the wedding cake and groom's cake that I had to make.  Given the fact that it was my very first (EVER) wedding cake, I really was trying to do all of the necessary preparation to make sure that everything turned out smoothly and that no cake drama occurred.  I can now breathe since it all turned out well!  Yay!  I can check that sucker off my list :-) 





Wedding cake specs: white velvet with raspberry filling iced in vanilla buttercream.  Ribbon border with fresh roses.  Breast cancer awareness ribbon made out of fondant


Groom's cake: lemon cake with lemon curd filling iced in vanilla buttercream.  Ribbon border with buttercream piping details

3 Tiered Cake {Modern Spring Edition}

Here is a spring edition cake that I thought would be a great opportunity to incorporate fresh flowers on this modern tiered cake.  I must say with Pinterest, I have been pinning cakes like a crazy woman!  I have really loved the different heights on tiered cakes lately, and thought it would be fun to test out that technique.  I tend to work more with buttercream than fondant, so this entire cake is iced in buttercream with a ribbon border and fresh flowers.  Thanks for stopping by!
