This cake was for my sister-in-law, and was exactly what she wanted for her wedding cake. It was chocolate cake with all butter buttercream icing and covered in fondant. The pearls are fondant also covered in super pearl luster dust. The bow was made by wiring about 3 loops and placing them around figure. The stand was the hotels, which I thought made the cake look really small. I should have used my own. I enjoyed making it and was so happy it made it through the 3 hour car ride.
