Peony Wedding Cake
This particular wedding had a special place in my heart - as I had a little cake journey with this family! I was first approached by the mother of the bride last year to create a cupcake stand for her daughter’s engagement party. The cupcakes were very successful - and many customers have since asked for similar stands to the one I built for that engagement party.
Then I created a pink and green shopping bag cake for the bride’s shower. And finally…the wedding cake. I will feel a bit of post-wedding depression after this one ….since I’ve felt a part of the process and have grown fond of the client! Maybe a baby shower will be in the future! 
This wedding cake was covered in ivory fondant and decorated with chocolate brown and pale pink sugar bands. Hand-made sugarpaste peonies and orchids adorn the top of the cake, and pale pink swiss dots complete the design. The cake flavors are alternating chocolate fudge cake filled with peanut butter buttercream and vanilla cake filled and raspberry chambord buttercream.

Your peonies are GORGEOUS! I’d love to mess with something of that magnitude. Maybe someday.

Thanks Kat! Are you a home baker or do you bake professionally?

I am in awe! I thought the peonies were real, for sure! Your blog is so impressive–I’d venture to say the most impressive cakes I’ve ever seen.

Just beautiful. The colors & flowers are the same that I have for my wedding in June! The flowers are just breathtaking! The designer purse was the most perfect idea for bridal shower.
