Kayleen's Wedding Cake

A dear friend of my sister-in-law's got married yesterday and I was fortune enough to be asked to do her wedding cake!!

The bride added her own cake topper, which she described to me as a gold wire tree with fall colored crystals for leaves. That sounds really pretty and very unique!

There were a couple of firsts for me in this cake, but I think they turned out well and i was pleased with the end result.

This was my first three tiered cake and my first attempt at using fondant.

I brushed the fondant with copper edible glitter to dress it up a little more for a special fall wedding. I also thought the shimmer might go along with the cake topper.

And I added 24 cupcakes to go with it. She picked the most delicious flavors.

Decadent chocolate with peanut butter cups baked in and peanut butter whipped butter cream in between the layers of cake AND lemon cake with raspberry filling. And then the whole thing covered in vanilla butter cream. Delicious!
