Sunflower Wedding Cake 8.8.11

Our final project in "Centerpiece and Cake Decoration Techniques" is to make a tiered wedding cake.  The theme of my cake is Sunflowers.  I was actually really nervous putting this cake together.  Something about the thought of the cake toppeling over made me uneasy that day.  I couldn't sleep the following day either, and stayed up most of the night making videos, one of them for the sunflower cake.

The cake is a three tiered yellow layer cake with raspberry filling, frosted with simple buttercream using a basketweave pattern.  The cake is topped with a pastillage trellis and gumpaste flowers including sunflowers, roses, and purple accent flowers.




Here's a much clearer video in full screen mode.
