Cherry blossoms and birds were made from gumpaste. Nest was made from modeling chocolate. White cake throughout with different fillings and a simple buttercream frosting. I was nervous about this cake and the color but I understood the bride's vision and I ended up loving the green. It was an incredibly humid week (unusual for my area of the country) and I had difficulty getting the cake to set and the frosting to crust. This made carving it a challenge. This created more of a hill like effect rather than an crisp angular tospy turvey that really worked well with the bird/flower decorations in the end. Bride loved it so I was happy.
