This is a small cake based off of the top two tiers of my larger black and white wedding cake in my photos. The customer wanted ivory and chocolate brown (although it's hard to tell). The topper is from Michael's, and came with the instructions from the Bride to "hide the base as best you can." After staring at the base for 4 hours, I decided that there was no use in trying to cover it completely...so I just added a few touches here and there! I'm happy with it! TFL!
