Square Wedding Cake

This was my monster cake on Saturday! I've never done anything this big, and I am so relieved it's over! The bride picked this design - and at first I thought it would look a little wierd, but it really grew on me. Her colors were brown and ivory. This is a view from the back

I love it! Is that buttercream or fondant? What did you use on the ribbon if anything?

Thank you! It really was huge. And she only had 150 guests! But that's what she wanted, and we cut really big pieces so everyone was happy with that. It's ivory fondant with white buttercream swirls. The ribbon was brown fabric ribbon that the bride chose, and I used pearl floral pins to hold it in place.

This was mostly a favor for a friend of my brother's. I don't have a business or anything, but because it was an hour away and so big, I charged her $1.15 a slice. I made about $100 on it, after all of the ingredients and supplies. In the words of Napoleon Dynamite, "that's like a dollar an hour!"... but it was worth it for the experience. :)
