Chevron Wedding Cake

It's wedding season!  Wedding season seems to be a year round' event now, but spring always brings out the brides.  I love going to weddings just to check out the cakes.  Jeff hates weddings.  I always drag him along and point out everything I would have done differently or blab on and on about how beautiful the cake was  and brainstorm how they did it.  I like a challenge and trying new techniques and this next cake was just that!

When my friend Jessie text me examples of cakes for her sister's upcoming wedding, I immediately fell in love with the chevron cake. The original concept is by one of my favorite cake designers  Erica O'brien Cake Design.  We changed the colors a bit and the flower arrangement but all in all it's pretty close.  The sugar flowers are all handmade, talk about time consuming!  I can't take credit for all of the flowers, I had some help from a talented lady in Michigan, Sandy.  She has been making sugar flowers for years and can make the most beautiful, realistic flowers I have ever seen.  The top and bottom tier are white almond cake with cookies and cream filling and the middle tier is chocolate fudge with cookies and cream filling.  She also ordered two coordinating sheet cakes which I decorated with the same chevron print but forgot to take pics!  This is by far one of my favorite cakes I have made, it's so modern and fun!
