Elegant Pearls

This cake was truly a joy to make. The top layer was a (fake) 8" x 6" round, edged with edible fondant pearls and had hand-painted scroll work. The bottom layer was - my first attempt - at a vertivle layer cake. When it was cut, the layers showed three verticle layers of pink, white and brown, instead of traditional horizontal cake layers. I hope I can get a picture from the photographer of the cutting! It was a 10" round, covered in light pink fondant and had a damask pattern, also edged with the gold pearls. I love this vintage-inspired cake!
