Butterfly Garden Cake

I gave this cake my all, another February wedding. Tiers of ivory fondant with a ivory pearl lustre, sugar flowers of roses, hydrangea and carnation frame the porcelain couple of which I hand painted the brides dress to match the designer Sophie Voon wedding gown (The Butterfly Garden).  The cake is inspired by the dress and The Gardens of Amsterdam wallpaper by Resene which was used for table runners on the beautiful oak tables at the Cobar in Eastbourne.  I loved making this cake!
