The lighting is terrible, but this is the best shot of the cake. It's my 3rd wedding cake...red velvet & buttercream creamcheese icing. The pearls are made of fondant with silver luster dust. The initial circle is out of black fondant. The cake was supposed to have silver dragees as the pearls and for the monogram, but I waited too late to order online so I made do by making the fondant balls and creating the initial out of beads.
