Moroccan Wedding

The finished product!

Bottom layer was chocolate with a chocolate mint ganache
Second layer was white cake with a chocolate ganache
Third layer was white with funfetti icing
Top layer was chocolate with chocolate buttercream
All layers done up in chocolate buttercream, chocolate fondant, and chocolate paint. Decorations are white and milk chocolate, ropes and pearls are fondant.

And for comparison, here's the final design I had.

tidbits

Chocolate fondant painted with.. what else? chocolate! and some sparklies, because we all like shiny things.

a wedding is on the way

I've been AWOL, sorry. Traveled to Texas for work and haven't had a chance to post.

I'm working on a cake design for the wedding coming up in 12 days, and I'm pretty excited.

The theme is Moroccan, and this isn't the final design, it's just the one the couple has seen (the final will be a surprise, I've changed a few things up and added some fun)

It'll have three layers, chocolate cake - mint chocolate filling, yellow cake, chocolate filling. The fondant will be chocolate brown, and all of the embellishments will be milk and white chocolate! Except the ropes on the third layer, those will be fondant.

I've done some practice with melted chocolate and found it to be quite fun, although I failed at taking photos.

There won't be any photos or updates until after the wedding though!
