Beaded Lace

Pink Perfection

Marked for Dessert

This stacked fondant cake features a distinct yet complementary design on each tier. The cake’s primary color is decidedly pink without being "too pink".
The base tier features floral appliqués made of hand-dusted rolled fondant while the next tier is embossed with a floral motif with small areas highlighted by way of light colors.

The topper is made of hand-made sugar flowers: stargazer lilies, calla lilies, and roses.

The pearls on the top tier are hand-rolled fondant painted with gold luster dust.

Crooked Whimsy

The four colors used in the cake mimic the primary colors used throughout the reception site.

The topper is a hand-modeled topper made of rolled fondant. The bowler bride and chef groom stand atop a pressed sugar riser with bowling pins, a bowling ball, and a rolling pin at their feet.
