While craming for ideas to make the cake for a friends wedding I came across this Garden Lights Wedding Cake. Its simple,takes about 4 hours of your time from start to finish. The results are fantastic as you have the easiness of picking the flowers and matching the decore of your brides event. The cake can be used with butter cream or you can go with the traditional fondant. Beading can be done with the royal icing or with edible pearls. Simple yet traditional with time to spare.
My overall rating of easiness is a 5
My overall rating of making something fabulous in less time a 5
Knowing that you will be delighted in the end you can give your self a 5 too!
