The finished wedding cake.

Post by Gruntfuttock »

Just the flowers to go on the top.

The leaves surrounding each layer are maple and oak leaves to signify the Canadian/English wedding.

This is what the bride wanted, it may not be to everyone's taste but DW has made a very good job of it.

WOW! That icing is just perfect. I should have had her make my cake! Of course, I live in the US and it was 17 years ago!

I've seen a ton of wedding cakes in my 40+ career as a florist......that one is truly a BEAUTY!

I love the idea of the Canadian/English leaves...the care and love put into each seperate leaf is very obvious...thanks for sharing it with us!......Pam :wink:

:o Very beautiful! She did a fantastic job! I've done very small amounts of flower productions for family birthdays and know what a few take to produce. Never in my wildest dreams could I even attempt that beauty!

What a special thing to make your daughters wedding cake for the occasion! How very special! Grand job!
