This is the first time I made a cake around the fresh flower cake top colors, featured at an outdoor wedding high in the hills of Naples, NY. It was a windy day with the cake and favor tables under a large tent in the hot summer days of July. My sister who helped deliver this cake 40 miles from my kitchen to it's destination chain-smoked the entire way. Thankfully, she has since quit! Assembling the tier to accomodate the flower arrangement underneath the top layer proved to be tricky, as the breeze would cause it to sway. Made with buttercream icing, I'm glad it wasn't a particularly humid day, and all was intact as the bride and groom finally cut into it. I am self taught, so this was hand piped without any templates, early on in my cake decorating endeavors, so you will see some of the design imperfections. I was still learning, so I did not charge any money for this cake, it was for friends who enjoyed every bite!
