Round Wedding Cakes

My first wedding cake! This beach themed cake has a 10" bottom tier that is chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream. The top 6" tier is pineapple cake with coconut filling and pineapple buttercream. I found a picture somewhere of a similar starfish topper that made the heart, so thanks for the inspiration. The coral is made of fondant/gumpaste with royal icing.

Thanks! It took some experimenting to find a way to make coral that I was happy with, but I'm very pleased with how it turned out.

Nicely done! I like the corals. Did you work on top of gum paste with Royal Icing?

Yes, I made the base of the coral with fondant/gumpaste that I cut with three sizes of round icing tips. Once that was dry, I piped royal icing on top and then added the nonpareils.
