Richelle & Darren's Wedding Cake

Last Friday I did a wedding cake for my friend Shauna's little sister.  She wanted a very simple, three layer cake.

I was excited when she wanted the bottom two layers to be styrofoam because it is easier to frost and a whole lot less time consuming because I only had to bake a 6" layer.  She also wanted butter cream icing instead of fondant, which freaked me out at first because it is hard to make butter cream look perfectly smooth.  Once I learned that she wanted a more vintage and imperfect look I was confident that I could make her ideal wedding cake.

So here it is and despite thinning my royal icing too much at first, making this cake was so low stress it was a pleasure to make.
Simply beautiful.
