Scroll Wedding Cake

The Saturday after the gingerbread festival I delivered this wedding cake for the daughter of the sister-in-law of the older sister of a girl I grew up with (did you follow that?) You gotta love Facebook for getting back in touch with people from your past.

Her wedding colors were brown, navy blue, and ivory, so I covered the cakes in ivory fondant, wrapped a navy blue ribbon around the base of each tier, and piped the scroll work with brown royal icing. The thing on the top is a mirror that she put her cake topper on. I even made the wood cake stand (with the help of my awesome brother-in-law); if you look close you can see a glass plate under the bottom tier to protect the cake from the polyurethane.

I've got another wedding cake due in December (this bride's sister, actually), and then a few months off before my next one. Phew! :)
