A Woodsy Wedding Cake

Not too long ago, we created a very woodsy wedding cake. The cake itself was covered with mocha-colored fondant, and it was decorated with vines, wildflowers, mushrooms, leaves, acorns, and butterflies.

We loved the cake so much that we decided to recreate it in dummy form for the show room.


This time, we covered the cake in ivory fondant.


But we still covered the cake with acorns, vines, mushrooms, lots of wild flowers, and a few butterflies!

Butterfly Swarm Cakes

Today is the Gainesville Bridal Expo at the UF Hilton. We're unveiling two new dummy cakes for our booth! Here's one of them:


This dummy cake is 5 tiers, covered in white fondant.


The butterflies were made out of gum paste and "glued' to the side of the cake with royal icing.


This cake was actually inspired by a wedding cake we did last week! The wedding was held at the Florida Museum of Natural History. This is the same museum that has a fabulous butterfly exhibit and for which we decorated the Butterfly Rainforest Cake.


The cake was covered in white fondant and placed on a cake pedestal purchased at TJ Max Home Goods (I love their cake stands!).


The butterflies were all provided by the bride and groom.


And this is a shot of the cake set up in front of the butterfly exhibit. I love the idea of having a wedding here! The wedding attendants ate the reception dinner with a mammoth's fossil! How cool is that?!
