You must be asking, "are those flowers real?" Yes, they are real handcrafted edible sugar flowers. Each of the Peonies, Carnations and Green Button flowers were made petal by petal. This wedding cake brought the opportunity to learn how to sculpt the Peony flower and invent the process for creating Green Buttons.
I must confess that this cake almost outlived all of its nine lives but persevered until the knot was tied. After a few broken flowers, a frosting slip-and-slide, tropical flooding (I would've walked across the Rio Grande with this cake above my head to make it to the wedding finish line) and humidity that you could drink the cake was still standing.
If these four tiers are an omen of strength and perseverance then the newlyweds are truly blessed. They say rain is a sign of good luck on your wedding day and by the amount of water that fell from the sky early Saturday morning this couple has many lifetimes of good fortune.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
