I have been working/slaving away in my kitchen for the last several days to make my very first wedding cakes. I had no idea how much work went into something like this and I have a whole new, gargantuan appreciation for people that do this for a living. The couple asked for a daisy themed, 4 tier fondant covered cake with a different filling in each layer. They were very specific about what the fillings should be. They wanted 1. pineapple (for them to save), 2. banana, 3. coconut, and 4. raspberry. They also wanted a chocolate grooms cake with raspberry filling and a sheet cake. Here is what they ended up with.
I didn't see the topper until the cake was already made, thankfully it fit.
Now for some reason Blogger won't let me add any more pictures to this post so this is all there it.

holy crap! you made that? it looks beautiful. i havent tried working with fondant, it intimidates me.
beautiful job. was it white cake ?
It was a white cake with white buttercream and marshmallow fondant. Marshmallow fondant is a good way to go to try out working with fondant because it's pretty easy to make and a lot cheaper. So you can mess up and not feel bad about wasting it. It also tastes good. Though I don't want to ever eat another piece of cake again.
mmm, cake...
did you make the marshmallow fondant or buy it? i have never heard of it. not that i am up on the world of cake making. it sounds wonderful.
I made it. Here's the recipe I use http://whatscookingamerica.net/PegW/Fondant.htm. It's funny because I actually don't like cake at all. I just like to make them.
Wow! You did such a good job. It is beautiful!
