The cake is covered in mmf, and is a true white, just bad lighting at the room it was being set up in.This cake had multiple layers of flavors. The bride wanted Tiramisu flavored, the groom wanted german choc, and then they wanted a white cake with rasberry buttercream. It was a bit of a challenge getting some of the flavors right and keeping it solid. The ribbon is just craft ribbon to match the wedding party and is secured in the back withe purple rindstone pins.(I forgot the pict of that because of stress being my first wedding cake)
