Mini Wedding Cakes/favors on Cake Central

This was requested instead of a large wedding cake. I made 60 of them. They are yellow cake with strawberry preserves and a whipped icing recipe I learned where I work... it is very soft but smooths real nice. I used a putty knife to smooth, I love that tool! The monograms are a yellowish royal painted gold. The cake was cut using a 3.5" cutter and then iced, and the box is 5" around.

Thanks all! I am not sure how long it took...a long time. haha. The gold is just "super gold" mixed with lemon ext. and I also tinted the royal icing a yellowish gold color too, that helps get a brighter gold. I'll try to post the icing recipe later. Its touchy to make and takes alot of mixing time but its really nice once you get used to it.
