The cake

The cake earns it's own page and since I am trying to use this as our scrapbook now- it earns it's own post. Tanya made this beautiful cake. Two tiers were chocolate with coconut cream filling, one tier was carrot cake with cream cheese filling and the final tier was key lime with margherita filling. They were all from scratch and so delicious. We were able to save the top tier and take it home to enjoy, which we did! Tanya made me a little sampler plate of each of the flavors and I am not sure which was my favorite. She covered the cake in buttercream which was actually tasty- usually I do not like buttercream but her recipe was very good, and then covered in fondant which was actually good to eat as well.



The detail work was amazing, all the flowers were hand made and from gum paste, the nests were gum paste as well. I didn't get any pictures of it, but Tanya was so patient with Ella who wanted to help and she was even able to place a few flowers on the cake with the help of her mom. It was best kind of centerpiece to have- beautiful and delicious!
