This was a cake done for a 60th birthday party but could be done as a wedding cake also, all bows and flowers are fondant.

Thanks all for the comments, cake is made from bc, top tier is sugar free cake, filling, and icing. You can't see it in the pic, but the icing for the sugar free was very crackly. I was just happy it stayed put. The son ordered the cake, which was a surprise for the mom, so hopefully she was pleased.

Xtina31, Thank you for your kind words, I did all of the fondant accents in white except the blue bows, I actually colored them periwinkle with gel coloring. To paint all of the fondant, I just mixed each color I wanted to use with a bit of vodka and painted them with luster dusts. I lustered dusted the bow too, to give it a bit more depth.
