I did this cake a while back and I wasn't as thrilled with it as I wanted to be. The couple wanted a bird silhouette on top of the cake. I cut at least 4 different sets of birds out of modeling chocolate, but they all just looked so... FLAT! I guess that's just how it works with silhouettes, huh?
The rest of the cake is pretty simple - square cake with buttercream, piped vine design on the chocolate layers, and piped dots on the middle tier.
I finished it off with a fondant ribbon border and some gumpaste calla lillies.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

Another stunning cake! I'm sure the couple loved it! Are the cakes smaller on bottom than on top? I love the look!
