Wedding Cake

I did this for my sisters wedding.
3 tier.
16in, 13in, 10in.
buttercream frosting.
green roses with white pearl dust.
white roses with gold pearl dust.
green and gold tinted leaves. some hand crafter, some imprint cut out.

There were several factors that played into this cake that made it look like crap.

1. I'm NOT a professional cake decorator
2. The caterers didn't have any fridge space for the cake, and the chef i spoke with told me i could set it in this "cool" hallway and it'd be fine. I didn't have time to argue, i knew it would melt.
3. 4hrs later, i check the cake, the buttercream is TOO soft, and the pearl border and draping are melting off.
4. The stand that it's on was cheap and the cakes didn't fit on them correctly.


So, everything bad that i thought would happen, DID happen.
i hate wedding cakes.
I HATE CONVENTIONAL CAKES.
i like to replicate works of art into a cake.

not sit for hours and hours hand crafting fondant roses that take 15-20mins to make.


ugh. no more wedding cakes.
