In community album: 2011 Flowers, Flowers, Flowers Cake Contest
A double chocolate cake with dark chocolate and white chocolate buttercream.  I made the flowers out of gumpaste and all the decorations were done with royal icing and were made to look like the bride's dress.  This cake was shipped via USPS and I'm still waiting to hear if it made it in one piece.  WORD OF ADVICE:  DO NOT SHIP CAKES!  It was a pain in the butt!  Thankfully, their wedding was months ago so it won't ruin the day if it falls apart in shipping.  They didn't have a cake for their wedding so this was the bride's valentine's day present to her husband.

The last photo is what the cake looked like when they got it...needless to say...I will not be shipping a cake again.  Live and learn!

The shipping didn't go so well. Apparently, the box was kicked in where it said "Fragile" on it...can't they read!?! Yup...not going to do this again.
