Here are pictures of the wedding cake that I did for one of Kristen's friends (Amy) a week ago. It was carrot cake with cream cheese frosting (hence the off-white color)- including 21 cups of shredded carrots!! My arm was tired after that (thanks Mom for helping me!!) The flowers are Gerber Daisies and roses. I was told red, orange and yellow for the flowers. The last picture is of her bouquet- somehow I matched the shades perfectly!! I think it turned out pretty. What do you think? 
This effect is called Cornelli Lace. I think it adds a lot to a cake.
Spun glass Jordan River Temple on the top. I needed it to be an inch taller, so I set it on little ribbon-wrapped pillars. It gave it the effect of "floating" because I put flowers all the way underneath.
I had an epiphany the morning of the wedding that I needed to make some leaves (I had all the flowers done for weeks before). I think the leaves added a lot!!
The bride and her mom found the cake stands- they are actually pillar candle holders and candle plates. Worked perfectly!
Here's her gerber daisy and stephanotis bouquet. Pretty colors.Anyway, that was my 2nd wedding cake adventure. #3 is already in the works... somehow I need to figure out how to make a gum paste sunflower. We'll see...

Those are absolutly beautiful cakes! What a fantastic talent. I love to play with cake-making but I don't do the amazing stuff like this. It is wonderful. And with yummy frosting, too. No gross fondant! Yay.
Beautiful job on the cake! Are you ready for another? I would finish one and say "NO MORE" for at least a year. You are amazing.
These cakes are so, so so beautiful.........
Yes, you are officially amazing!! Thank you for being so willing to jump into mine. I wish I could be there so I could help you make flowers and everything....but alas, as soon as I'm done here, I have to go back to school!! Hmm.
Ha, Jarom just talked in his sleep...."Berum hum oh yeah". Funny kid.
Ok, well, thank you for everything you do/are doing. I don't know how I would do it without everyones help. That's what family is for, right?!!! Well, it makes me feel very blessed.
Love ya!
Wow! You are amazing. What beautiful cakes!
I love cornelli lace. I did that on my brother's cake four years ago. I still love it. And I really like the stands.
Great job on the cake Annie! I used to decorate cakes too. People would order them from me in high school. I haven't done it in a long time...makes me want to try one!
