My second spring wedding was for a couple of friends named Joe and Michelle. Michelle was an amazing wedding planner - she had the cake planned more than 6 months before the wedding! Their wedding colors were black and gold, and the bride was going have a bouquet of red roses, so the cake had to be pretty classy. She found a design she liked in a cake book called "Spectacular Cakes" by Mich Turner, so we modeled it after that.
I ended up making a three-tiered vanilla cake with peanut butter and raspberry fillings and vanilla buttercream. The cake was covered with white fondant and decorated with black royal icing and gold ribbon. Black on white - gulp! The cake toppers really made the cake. Joe and Michelle are both really big Phillies fans, and one of Joe's friends actually made them the cake toppers in the shapes of Phillie Phanatics. They were so detailed - it was incredible!

| That's it. It just needed some fresh red roses to make it perfect. |
Now usually, this would be the end of the blog. But, Joe wanted to have a groom's cake as well. I think I may have mentioned that he is a fan of the Phillies, right? So, what better way to show his love for the team than with cake? Joe got a Phillies cap made out of chocolate cake, peanut butter filling, and vanilla buttercream. I would be lying if I told you that more than a couple of his relatives wanted him to wear it.

| Joe was very gentlemanly when giving Michelle her wedding cake. |

| I guess it tasted OK if she's licking her fingers. |
