Elegant and Tall Wedding Cake

A few weekends ago, I had the pleasure of making this wonderfully tall wedding cake.  The wedding was held at the wonderful setting of Canoe which is on the 54th floor overlooking Toronto.

The cake tiers were double-tall cake tiers - strawberry vanilla cake with strawberry buttercream on the top two tiers and chocolate sour cream with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream on the bottom tier.
 
This avocado green cake design was inspired by one of my favorite cake artists, Rich Reichart, from Cakelava in Hawaii.  I was lucky enough to take his first ever class back in March - see blog post.
 
 Hope everyone is enjoying their summer - see you next Tuesday!

    What a beautiful cake! I especially like the top-down picture, it really shows the dimension the vines add.

    Thanks for dropping by ladies and leaving a comment!

    @Susanne Not sure where you can get that cakestand where you live, but if you google "cake pedestal", perhaps there is someplace online that you can buy from.

    Juanita! It really looks like you were able to apply the techniques learned in class. Thanks for the shout out! We recognized the shape and design :) You did a great job, the tall tiers are difficult to do, especially the small one! - Rick and Sasha
