Miles and Natasha

It is always so fun to see friends who have come through trials, triumph! 

This couple has had their share of troubles, but now, they have each other, and I couldn't be happier for them.  

I used a new tool for this cake; Marvelous Molds.  They are silicone mats with a design on them.  You just press the rolled out fondant on to the mat, remove the negative spaces, wet the back, and apply it to the cake, using the mat.  Voila!

Ok, it's not as easy as it sounds, but it is pretty slick, once you get the hang of it.  I found that using meringue buttercream worked better, because I was able to get the frosting hard in the fridge before applying the fondant; that kept the mold from leaving marks on the cake.

I love it when the florist makes my pretty cake look amazing!  But this cute, happy couple outshine the cake altogether! 

The finished cake.  Beautiful colors!
