As some of you may know, I was at a family member's wedding this past weekend. I talked a little about it in previous posts and mentioned that I made the wedding cakes as well. I couldn't be happier with how they turned out! (Other than getting stuck in traffic on the way to the venue and watching the sun start to melt them **Kim K cry face**.) I did 3 cakes in total: a "main" 3 tiered carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, a 2 tiered almond joy cake (coconut cake with almond joy coconut filling, and covered in a chocolate ganache), and a 2 tiered lemon blueberry cake with vanilla buttercream. I wanted the "main" cake to be the center of attention, so I felt it needed a little something special on top to set it apart from the others. I knew the bride and groom wouldn't want a traditional cake topper, so I knew I wanted to do something a bit more modern. I thought the simple monogram would be super chic and tie in the brass touches they were using throughout the ceremony and reception. It ended up working perfectly and did exactly what I wanted it to, it made the "main" cake the center of attention. The entire topper cost about $12. You could use this same process to make a cake topper for any other occasion as well, I know I sure will in the future!
