Last weekend this pretty cake sat center stage at Kristina's Northern Virginia nuptials at Hidden Creek Country Club in Reston. It was a beautiful venue tucked away in a wooded area with very helpful staff and event support. The reception they were setting up when I delivered the cake looked gorgeous with touches of green and white and delicate cream colored hydrangeas. The cake fit right in!
Kristina had a very specific idea of the cake she wanted- alternating tiers of green and white with a hydrangea sugar flower detail in the middle. The border on the first and third tier is done using fondant, and all of the details are completely handmade.
Kristina and her husband found this cake topper online and left it for me to adorn the cake with after set up. I thought it really brought the whole design together and was a great addition.
The cake itself is vanilla bean pound cake filled with raspberry mousse on the first and third tiers, and vanilla Italian buttercream on the second. Each tier has four layers of cake and three layers of filling. As a special bonus, Kristina's mom Michelle also ordered a dozen blue moon cupcakes and a separate 10" vanilla cake filled with homemade raspberry preserves. I'm a firm believer that you can never have enough cake, and I'm glad Michelle understands this too!
Congratulations Kristina! Thanks for letting me be a part of your wedding day.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much Michelle, it was really my pleasure! I loved getting to work with you both, and I was very happy with how it all came together so I'm glad that you were too! Enjoy your cake and keep me in mind for any of your future cake needs ;-)
DeleteWe wanted to do a ceremony, followed by drinks and light bites, skipping the dinner to save money. The manager at banquet halls in Chicago was happy to oblige.
