In community album: 2006 Wedding Cake Contest

Dustin & Sabrina

8", 12", 16" vanilla cake, iced with buttercream, filling is buttercream icing with champagne flavoring (a special touch) added to it. It tasted wonderful!! Bride wanted it decorated with petunia's, dots, & rope border. The cake was just what the bride pictured it to be. I was so nervous about the flowers she picked. I think it really came together beautifully!
