This cake is actually a very pale pink in color with fresh flowers in purple, pink and white colors in a long cascade winding down the entire length of the cake. The cake is a 5 tier sour cream pound cake with the traditional buter cream frosting. This was a nightmare to decorate. It was in a hot building and was in the summer. The frosting was getting way softer than I like and I was scared but we made it work. You do what you have to do to make things work out and I htink this one did.
