First I have to thank RATGA for their advice in inspiration for this cake. I had admired their design and used it for this beach wedding. Each layer was an alternating wasc chocolate and wasc vanilla cake and some fillings were chocolate mousse, lemon mousse, cookies and cream, and vanilla buttercream. The shells and accent pieces were gumpaste with a few white chocolate ones thrown in. My husband made the cake carrier for the car (which keeps cakes cool at 55 degrees and stable for transporting) and he made the cake stand for me too. (thank you honey)
