My first tiered cake. I learned I should have made a 6" cake to put on the cake plate that came with the wilton course 3 cake. I think the cake would have looked much better with the ruffle on the top tier also. Live and learn right? I am still trying to learn how to make the cake completely smooth. Logo, flowers, & leaves made with fondant. Cake & board/plate covered in fondant. Lace & shell made with buttercream.
