Lilac and Gold Wedding Cake

Two tier offset square fruit cake, covered in marzipan & fondant with edible lilac blossoms, scrolls & butterflies, painted in edible gold. The couple are having an outdoors wedding and just wanted something relatively simple, the design is based on something seen in a magazine chosen by the client, but colours & shape changed. 1st time doweling, thank god the top tier hasn't moved & it's been there for 2 days! I don't know that I'm happy that the colours work together but I am a silver girl not gold.
