Whisking on Pens & Needles

Here’s the latest SweetElement creation … a fall wedding cake made as a wedding gift for a friend.  Her request … a simple, elegant, fall-themed (with leaves) cake with her Charlie Brown topper incorporated.  I think the end result turned out quite nice.  All tiers were comprised of vanilla cake filled with strawberry preserves and frosted in buttercream and fondant.  All the leaves were made out of gumpaste, and the tiers were adorned with ribbon on the bases.  The biggest compliment (aside from a gushing appreciate bride), was seeing one of the slender female guests at our table eat two pieces of cake … AND yell at the servers who were trying to clear her cake plate when she still had a bite left.  Now that’s a true compliment!
