This was a very easy cake to do. There is very little icing technique involved, because the lace and ribbon really make the cake. The bride didn't want a traditional cake topper, but she also didn't give me any ideas for what she wanted instead. I just happened to be in a dollar store and found the stained glass tealight, just as I was giving up hope of ever having an idea. I used a battery operated 'candle' in it, and it looked very nice. (The real flame looked nicer, but wasn't as safe.)
