Wedding Cake With Fresh Tulips

Wedding Cake With Fresh Tulips on Cake Central

I did this cake for our friends' wedding, it was our gift to them. it is chocolate cake with white chocolate cream cheese icing, covered in fondant. The butterflies are gumpaste, decoration on cake is royal icing. The bottom two layers and second layer from the top are fake. The tulips started drooping by the time the reception started, but such is the nature of tulips. This is my third wedding cake.

Beautiful cake! I was going to ask how you kept the tulips from wilting....I carried them in my own wedding and they were very finicky! This is just beautiful!

This is absolutely gorgeous. The cake itself is phenomenal, but the tulips give it something extra to really hit it out of the park.

This is exactly the kind of cake decoration my sister wants for her wedding in Nov.! I'm saving this to Favs to show her. Thanks for sharing your gift.

This cake is absolutely STUNNING! It is so elegant. I love the way each tier is decorated the same. And I like that you were able to keep the long stems on the tulips.

This is absolutely gorgeous! I love the tulips-I have never seen this done before and I love the look of part of them wilting-it's incredible!! This was an amazing gift. I'm sure your friends were amazed.

It has all been said, "stunningly beautiful". Would you please share how you set up the tulips and finished off the bottom. Also, what was your board covered with. Everything is beautiful! If you have time to PM, I would be grateful. Thank you
