Peacock Wedding Cake

This weekend, my beautiful sister-in-law, Megan, married a sweet guy, Ruben, and they had a fabulous peacock-themed wedding!  I was so honored to be a part of their wedding, and this cake was SO MUCH fun to make.

This cake was White Velvet Cake with Vanilla Buttercream, covered in homemade Buttercream Fondant {recipes on the recipes tab}.

My favorite part of this cake was the inside – we colored it teal and purple to match the wedding colors!

I hand-made the topper to match the theme of the wedding.  The monogram is wood, that was rubbed gold.

The dots on the side of the cake are buttercream that were painted with edible gold glitter.  It is not noticeable in the photos, but the cake and ribbon are dusted in edible gold glitter as well.  The sparkle in the sunshine was gorgeous!

The groom is a drummer, so the grooms cake was made to look like a drum!  We put the cake on an actual drum stand and used the grooms drum sticks as an accent.

The day was just wonderful and full of love.  The newlyweds just glowed the whole time {and not just because of the heat!}. I was so thrilled to be able to be a part of it – Thanks Megan and Ruben!

I Adore Professional Photos!

My sweet customer, and friend, was kind enough to share some professional pictures of her wedding cake that I did a couple months ago {I also adore facebook!}, so I wanted to share them with you guys!  Her wedding was just gorgeous, and I was so honored to be a part of it.

These all remind me how much I love weddings {and how much I need to improve my cake photography skills!}

Thanks for looking!

Happy Baking, ya’ll ❤
