Blue-Green Wedding Cake

Good friends of mine, Tim and Karen Ansilio, renewed their vows today. Karen asked me to do a small wedding cake for the reception they were having after the church service. Since this isn't the traditional white cake type of affair, I was looking for something a little out of the ordinary. Their daughters Maria and Katryna were part of the ceremony and they were wearing sapphire blue and seafoam green respectively, so I thought I would incorporate that into the cake design. Karen also requested fresh flowers on the cake and these orchids lent themselves well to the design. I'm not sure who created the original cake design that I found a picture of on the internet. I've made a few changes to the cake I did, but I do want everyone to be aware that someone else did the original design.

The first two tiers, 8" and 10" squares, were covered in white fondant and the top 6" tier was covered in blue fondant. The bottom two tiers got stipes of blue the same width as the top tier on all four sides and then a seafoam green fondant ribbon ran from the top of the cake to the bottom over the top of the blue stripe. The blue was brushed with sapphire luster dust and the green was brushed with light green luster dust. The pearls at the base of each tier were made with a First Impression silicone mold dusted with super pearl dust. The cake was placed on a 14" square white cake drum. The double heart topper is a ceramic piece that I carry in the store.

The first tier is vanilla cake with Irish Cream mousse, the second tier is lemon cake with raspberry syrup and lemon curd and the top tier is chocolate with chocolate mousse filling.

Congratulations Tim and Karen. All the best to you both!
