Purple Wedding Cake

My friend at work recently got married and I made her wedding cake for her.  She found a picture of what she wanted online, so we went with that.  Even though the pics looked like the cake was a dark blue, it was actually a dark purple.

It was not easy dealing with a cake this large in this awful humidity and heat, but it still turned out nice.  I was very pleased with the final result.

The entire cake is covered in fondant and decorated with edible pearls, real ribbon, and gumpaste calla lillies.

At the wedding, it was so hot that the cake ALMOST melted.  But everyone loved it anyway. :)  Shew... Haha.
