My Latest Wedding Cake

This is the cake I've been working on this week and my last wedding cake of the year, up to now anyway, always the chance of a late order. The wedding theme was butterflies, hence the butterflies on the cake. I coloured them to match the wedding colours. The bride and groom loved it when they came to see it yesterday. Sorry the picture is a bit dark. :-(
More time for card making now...... lol
