Anita's Wedding Cake

My first wedding cake commission- for my cousin, Anita.  Luckily, she gave me a lot of freedom- basically saying that I could do what I wanted. I knew the colour scheme and I took into account her personality and her style. 

Wedding cake symbolism, history of wedding cakes.

What interested me- the personal aspect.  My own journey. The run up to the wedding- the dress, the venue. But I also saw it as a snapshot in time of my family. Where we were all at in our lives. There are conventional wedding albums- of the actual day. I wanted to create an altnerative wedding album. From the cake decorators perspective.  Photos, voice recordings. The ten days leading up to wedding.
