alee's wedding cake









below is the pink cake i found for inspiration and copied it to their color, BLUE. i made the following buttercream recipe to frost the cake. i absolutely love it.

*MARSHMALLOW FROSTING

1 pound unsalted butter (at room temperature)

2 cups confectioners’ sugar

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)

1 (16 ounce) tub marshmallow cream (such as Marshmallow Fluff brand)

In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy.

Beat in one-fourth of the sugar until fluffy, and then repeat with the remaining sugar.

Beat in the vanilla, and then stir in the marshmallow cream until well blended.

Yield: 24 servings

then i hand cut the designs with an exact-o-knife out of fondant. and topped the cake with some beautiful hydrangeas from my mom's gardens. each layer was a different flavor and they all turned out super tasty and moist. raspberry chocolate with ganache filling, white chocolate lemon with lemon curd filling, strawberry with fresh strawberries and strawberry gelatin.
