White/Bronze Roses Wedding Cake
An absolutely adorable couple asked me to do their wedding cake. Their colors were bronze and navy blue. After meeting they decided on a three tiered white cake, with fresh strawberries and fresh blackberries. I made all the roses out of gumpaste for the cake.
When we first started talking about the cake it was before I knew I was pregnant. I had my baby boy and he was 5 months old when the wedding was to take place. The bride being the sweet wonderful person she is, asked if I was still ok doing the cake now that I have a new baby to take care of. I said of course, I said I would do the cake for you and I would never back out now.
This is a close up picture of the roses. White roses with a bronze dusting was what was ordered. I dry brushed the luster dust on.
The three tiers were covered in fondant, I also made a full sheet kitchen cake that was cut up for the rest of the guests.
After a nerve wrecking ride to the event site, we made it, cake and baby in tow.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the cake and it was a lovely wedding.
