This 3 tiered cake was made for a friends daughters wedding. Her colors were red, black and white. The cake is white with raspberry filling, covered in white fondant. All of the flowers, roses, apple blossom and stephontis are made of gum paste, flowers were made 3 weeks in advance. The boarders are of buttercream The tiers are 8, 12 and 16 inches. I was pleased with the red on the cake. I used only a few small red rose buds, made for a nice accent. The bride was very pleased.
