This cake was exactly what the bride had imagined for her wedding.  The idea for the design was inspired by her wedding dress. The dress had a satin ribbon around the bottom which was mimicked by the ribbons around the bottom of each tier. Each ribbon was then lined with tiny pearls of icing, inspired by the pearls worn around the bride’s neck and in her hair. The pearls staggered on the sides of the cake reflect the pearls that were staggered on the bodice of her gown. The exact pattern and size of the pearls was duplicated by using a scrap piece of fabric from the dress. Strawberries and blueberries topped the cake and cascade down the sides to give a fresh spring look to the cake.

This is a white-on-white version of the palm tree cake.  Believe it or not, this cake is quite a bit smaller than the palm tree cake shown above.  The tiers on this version are 4"-6"-8".  The cake flavor was chocolate chip with buttercream frosting.  This cake was made for another couple that was married in the Carribean and came back home for a reception.
