Our Cakes Throughout the Years: Blue Themed Wedding Cake

Blue Themed Wedding Cake

This cake was custom designed for a bride who wanted a blue wedding cake. The cake itself was marble cake with alternating layers of vanilla and chocolate buttercream filling. The cake was covered in a buttercream flavored fondant. We matched the color of the fondant to a swatch of the bridesmaids dresses. We placed black satin ribbon along the bottom of each tier, and placed large edible pearls on the sides of the cakes. The flowers on the top of the cake and cascading down it are real white colored gerbera daisies.
