I am running a bit behind on updates. It has been a whirlwind over the past 4 or 5 months. We had a family vacation, relocated, started new jobs, and are trying to settle into life. This cake is from my very own mother's wedding reception, which was in May. It was a lovely small ceremony in a park. It was great to bring all of the family together to celebrate together.
My mom gave me free reign on her cake design. So I started gathering intel. Her cake combined the flowers used in her bouquet, lace details matching her mother's anniversary dress, and pearls which she wore. I wanted to duplicate my grandmother's wedding dress, but it turns out that her and my grandfather eloped.
The flowers are all handmade from gum paste. The middle photo shows my flowers next to my mom's bouquet. The sotas on the top layer are meant to replicate the lace and there is also a fondant lace detail on the middle layer. The bottom layer has a faux fabric swag and gold broach.
