Oh you did a wonderful job! Very beautiful. I like the picture with the cake topper the best because, like pp said, it looks more "complete." I do, however, agree about the cake topper being too tall. 
Again, wonderful job! 
Your first wedding cake!?!?!!!
It is superb! I want a sugar veil pen!
I'm going to google that to find out what it is.
Your cake is just gorgeous. Although I really like
the topper, i don't think they picked one that matched the cake very well.
Nice job. Just imagine how beautiful your NEXT
wedding cake will be.

Great Job I like both but the second looks complete with the topper but have to agree the topper looks a bit tall for the cake...Super job love the scroll work on the sides
I bet Sugarveil makes a lot of sales from "word of mouth" or in our case "word of web" 
Wow, I somehow missed all of these last posts. Thank you everyone for the nice comments 
. I was really nervous about this cake and everything for the most part went well, so as long as the bride doesnt call me and tell me she hated it, maybe I can be talked into doing another wedding cake sometime! LOL!
Anyway for those who are curious the sugarveil pen can be found here:
www.sugarveil.com They are pretty pricey, but I got it from DH for my birthday. He kept asking if I had used it yet, and I hadnt had the occasion to until the wedding cake. It was nice to not have icing dripping everywhere. I am super messy, so it helped! There are so many other things you can do with the pen and icing. I did not use the icing for the wedding cake, I just used regular royal icing and it worked wonderfully! It is very easy to use.
Well I ended up with both pics on my website, I couldnt decide! I figure I only have a couple up there, so for now I will just do both! I think maybe I should make up a coupld of generic toppers for an occasion like this, to change the look.
BEAUTIFUL! ELEGANT! I agree, the 2nd is the best for you site!
Merissa that cake is amazing! I LOVE your work, but you already know that 
I am getingready to go out of town, so have not been to CC in a while, but it is beautiful!
That is okay shirley, people often write or call me Melissa (even my own FIL does sometimes.)

thats funny. my name is melysa (sounds like melissa, just spelled different) but EVERY time someone gets my name wrong, its ALWAYS michelle. 
huh?!?
Your cake is beautiful it's hard to believe it's your first wedding cake! I had to laugh when I read that about your two year old although I'm sure you did not! My dd did that when I was making her 2nd birthday cake and it was right before the party so it was what it was. Great job! I now have another item on my wish list!I want that pen!

i have to reply too! even if you have decided to use both pics for now.
i love the outdoor photo! it looks like it was photographed for a magazine! your cake looks like it can be on a magazine! wow! first wedding cake too! great job! i can totally imagine it with flowers too. i have an entire garden wedding with your cake as centerpiece in my mind now
but i also like the one with the topper even if it may be too tall because the scrollwork you made complements the bride's dress on the topper. it's a good way of showing how you can create a cake to match something that the bride brought to you.
congrats on the first wedding!
your scroll work is amazing! did you stamp it prior to doing the scrolls? I would have the scolls so bass ackwards it wouldn't be funny...
You did an amazing job and I would put both pics in your book because it shows two different versions of the cake...jmo...
Thanks, you all are very sweet. No I did not stamp them. I was terrified to do the scrolls too, but actually they were pretty easy. I practiced a couple of minutes on my cake pan and took a deep breath and went for it.
Well I heard back from the bride today. I got an email and I will tell you I was so nervous to open it! Anyway here is what she said:
Thank you so much for making my wedding cake. It was absolutely beautiful!! Everyone was shocked at how delicious it was even the fondant! I will definitely refer your services to others.
I was very relieved. Funny what she said about the fondant! LOL! I think I talked her into it a little. I really wasnt very comfortable doing buttercream. Well I am glad she was happy.
