The theme of Megan and Chris's wedding was nautical for their love of the water and boating. This is reflected in the compass rose on the front of the cake (that was also on their invitations) as well as the scroll work that was shaped like waves. Megan made her own topper to look like her and her groom... it was VERY cute!
To start out, this cake was 4 tiers of 3 different flavors and 2 shapes (round and hexagonal). The bottom tier was chocolate cake with fudge and raspberry filling, the second tier was white cake with lemon cream filling, and the top 2 tiers were red velvet with cream cheese filling.
While I worked on icing and decorating the tiers, my husband, Ben helped with the compass rose. This part of the cake was a piece of fondant cut into a circle and painted with icing gel coloring.
This cake was scary to deliver because it was extremely hot and humid outside in eastern North Carolina. We had to turn the AC on in the truck ahead of time to cool it down before taking the cake. I had assembled the top 2 tiers and the bottom 2 tiers before leaving the "bakery" (aka Megan and Chris's kitchen). When we got to the venue I placed the top tiers onto the bottom tiers, finished decorating the middle tier, and placed the topper.
I LOVE this cake... it looks like it came from a magazine :)
I also made a grooms cake for Chris. The flavor was carrot and it was decorated with a replica of his boat "Twice as Nice" and 2 scuba divers who are now "life-long buddies".
