This was my very first attempt at a wedding cake and MMF - for my brother. I was very nervous when I made my first batch of MMF, but it was great to work with and tasted great! I used brown and pearl luster dust. The colors were matched to the invitation (bronze and teal). Would love to hear your comments or suggestions. icon_biggrin.gif

I think your cake turned out wonderfully. I have to make my first wedding cake in May and I am excited. It will be four layers some stacked and some on pillars. I am still working the design details out but I am getting closer all the time. i can only hope mine works out as nicely as yours did!

Thank you for the kind words! I guess I'm my own worst critic!

The teal petal detail is actually very easy! Cut out the pieces of fondant, lay a piece of lace over the fondant, spread royal icing over the lace and gently lift the lace up! Whalla!

I think it is lovely and am amazed it is your first. If you had seen my first wedding cake you would nominate yours for the cake hall of fame.
