I was super thrilled to design this unique cake for a very special couple. During our consultation they wanted to have the cake designed around their Sri Lankan Heritage. The topper Pair of Swans “Hansa Puttuwa” is a traditional and a very important motif coming down from ancient Sri Lanka and it represents Pureness, Unity and Prosperity. The second tier has the hanging Jasmin flowers to mimic the Sri Lankan oil lamp which is lighted by the bride and groom with their families to signify the two families becoming one. The bottom tier was designed to mimic a Lotus flower which is a symbol of Buddhism and represents Purity, Prosperity, Beauty and Fertility. Finally, to give some warmth to the design I added gold glitter, gold sugar lace, ivory tones and accented it with tropical flowers from Sri Lanka such as Bird of Paradise, Jasmin, Blue Orchids, Hibiscus and Lotus flower.
