Ah the tropics, beautiful sunsets, fragrant flowers, white sandy beaches. I TRIED to get Bill and Carla of Pocatello to let me deliver their Hawaiian themed wedding cake to their destination wedding, but to no avail. Instead, the reception was held at Sandbaggers.

Congratulations Krissy and Britain!
The wedding reception was done in black and white damask with white calla lilies. It was so elegant and beautiful, probably one of my favorite ones that I have ever seen.
The cake was a four tier white satin cake of varying heights. Damask was on the top and the bottom tier in black icing. A sugar ribbon accented the middle tier coming together to highlight their monogram, which was hand painted to match the monogram that was used throughout the wedding. Pearls surrounded three of the four tiers. My new favorite wedding cake! Continue reading
