Ombre Wedding Cake

I think it's about time I posted a picture of my very first wedding cake. The reasons for the delay is because I made this cake in the process of moving. Literally. I packed up my house, my husband and child left town, I stayed in an empty house and proceeded to make the cake. It was intense but now I am settled in a new home in a new city. So here is my pièce de résistance!


Bottom layer 12" = German chocolate with the traditional frosting as filling
Middle layer 10" = Spice cake with an apple pie filling
Top layer 8" = Funfetti cake (per brides request) with a strawberry filling


This beast of a cake weighed a ton and took 20 hours to make, bake and decorate.
It was an ivory-ish ombre with burlap flowers. (the mother of the bride made the flowers)

The bride loved it. I was super proud of my creation and can't wait for the next time I get to create something so beautiful and delicious!

P.S. All of the cake (except for funfetti) and filling was made from scratch. Go big or go home!
