There are moments while I work on a cake that I ask myself, "Will this work?" In this case, it was the pink roses. I've grown to love the muted color palette of white, ivory and mocha; the colors seem to work well together. The shade of pink had me nervous but I had to use that shade of pink in the cake because it was the color that the bride's maids were wearing. This is where I say, "Here goes nothing!"

To my surprise, the pink actually worked! The bride was carrying calla lilies in her flower bouquet so I added sugar calla lilies in design as well as the pink roses. The inside of the cake was a vanilla cake with passion fruit buttercream. Here she is!
