Ivy and callas.
More ivy and callas, because they were a common theme for fall weddings. I think that the ivy was something unexpected that people liked, so they asked me to make it pretty often, especially in the fall.
Gumpaste hydrangeas.

Tall pillars and chocolate piping.
This cake had chocolate piping in scrollwork designs all over it, and tall pillars between the tiers. I seem to remember having trouble reaching the top of this one when I was setting it up!
Gumpaste leaves and acorns.

Haunted house wedding cake.
This was a cake that I made for a Halloween wedding. It had to be black, of course, and it had gravestones with things that the couple gave me to write on them. Ghosts on the top tier finished it off!
