I thought this cake would be a great cake to showcase on the day after Thanksgiving. Have any of you been out shopping throughout the night? I will admit that I have done it in the past, but I haven't braved the wild shopping frenzy in many years. Maybe I'm just getting old; maybe I just love shopping at Amazon too much! Prime rocks!
For this bridal cake, I used ribbon as a border for each tier. I've said it before, but I'll say it again... I always do a double wrap of ribbon on my cakes. It looks better and on buttercream cakes, it keeps the ribbon from getting dark when the buttercream seeps through.
I used modeling chocolate to make the branches, the monogram, and the leaves. Some of the leaves are on wire so they can come out from the cake a little. Even bringing them out just a little adds a lot of dimension to the cake.
I'll keep this post short as this is a day off for me and I think I'll snuggle back in bed and catch up on some sleep! Have a great weekend!!

Very nice! I really like how you've made it spiral around the cake.
