Some friends got married this summer, and I was honored to make the cake for their reception. They left the design entirely up to me, they said only that Alena really likes flowers, and tulips in particular. I decided to add roses and peonies as well.
This was my first real wedding cake, and my first real attempt at gumpaste flowers. I definitely learned a lot in the process.
This cake was also a bit of a challenge in that I had to travel over 2 hours with it, on a pretty warm day. I ended up deciding to transport it in pieces and assemble it on site. For all it’s challenges, it came together pretty well.
Congratulations to two good friends! I wish you the best.
Wow!!! Looks yummy! Do I see flecks of vanilla in the frosting? That looks gorgeous, and delicious, and so special.
Yes, the frosting Swiss Meringue Butter Cream, flavored with vanilla bean paste. Thanks!
That is absolutely lovely!
Dang, those are some excellent looking roses. Impressive!
It looked and tasted great!
My Czech family members and friends adore your cake, Sarah!
