The final wedding cake for 2012 was as beauty. The reception was held at Quincy Cellars Winery and the cake was displayed on a wine barrel.
The design was replicated from a cake the bride had seen in a magazine. It features an 11"x 6" Almond cake with Almond mousse, 9" Almond Joy cake (rich dark bittersweet chocolate cake with the traditional Almond Joy coconut filling and a layer of fudge); note that this layer is only 2" high. Designs where the layers are different heights give a truly dramatic look to the overall cake. The next tier was 7" x 5" White cake with Italian buttercream and the top was 5" x 4" Almond cake with standard buttercream.
All tiers were covered in an ivory fondant and the flowers are small roses in relief made both in deep aubergine and lavender colors. The greenery is hand piped in royal frosting. Around the base of each tier is a royal frosting pearl border and the couple monogram was the final touch.
