Buttercream Striped Wedding Cake with White Flowers and Ivy

I got to try out a new cake frosting technique on this wedding cake for my friend Shannon.  It was stressful but fun!  This is a chocolate cake (click here for cake recipe) with buttercream frosting (click here for frosting recipe).  The bottom layer is 8″ and the top is 6″.  Below is another picture without the flowers on the cake so you can see the frosting stripes a little better.

Congratulations to Shannon and Tom!  Thanks for making me a part of your special day!
