Janet and Wayne's Wedding cake.

This cake I made for my brother (from another mothu ;) and his, now, wife Janet (whom I matched, yea you know you'll never get away from that one) It did not photograph very well. It was a sattelite cake so that made getting a decent picture difficult. I will describe it to you as well as I can. All three caked we on a different level, a different shape, different size and were a different flavor.




The top tier was a Red Velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. It was an octogon.



The middle tier was a square double chocolate cake with a smooth creamy chocolate frosting.




The bottom tier was a large round Carrot Cake with a traditional cream cheese frosting.








Did you notice the pink design on the sides of the tiers as well as on top of each tier? for those of us now in the know those are dive arrows. Wayne is a cave diver and owns a cave diving center called Amigos Dive Center. As a surprise to Wayne, Janet wanted me to incorporate diving into the cake somehow without it being too blantant or out there. I came up with this so that the divers at the reception would get it but those of us not familiar with diving would not be thinking "what is that about". I had a lot of comments from divers but didnt hear one single "what in the world." The diving arrows are pale pink, to match her colors and her flowers, and are made of royal icing. The flowers on top of each tier are fresh pink roses.

I enjoyed doing this cake because I like doin cakes that are a little bit of a challenge and different than the regular, run of the mill wedding cake. I hope you guys liked it and I had fun working with you, Janet on making this cake.
