Hayley and Cal--Western Luau

Hayley and Cal wanted a wedding cake to tie into their western luau reception.



With a square base cake and two additional paisley tiers; the flowers include royal icing, navy blue apple blossoms and gold, sugar paste daisies, with white centers. Also there are darling royal icing ladybugs.



The bottom square tier has a brown, fondant ribbon around the bottom. The middle paisley tier has a navy, fondant ribbon around the tier. The top paisley tier has a tan, fondant rope border made into a lasso, and trailing down the cake and coiling on the square tier.




There are also sugar paste leaves included in the "lei" on the top tier.




The cakes are red velvet cake, with cream cheese icing, and are covered in marshmallow fondant.





Hayley is represented by the navy blue, polka dotted flip-flops and Cal by the rustic cowboy boots. Both are edible--the flip-flops from molded white chocolate, the boots from molded sugar paste. There is even a ladybug hiding in one of the boots.













Table decorations include daisies and tulle in matching colors.










They also had a sheet cake, portioned into servings, with an apple blossom on each serving. Some of the servings had a ladybug on them as well. The leaves are buttercream, as is the brown shell border.
