Pièce de résistance - part 2

Now, what I know you've been waiting for!

For L's bridal shower cake I made a 2-layer 9x13 marble cake with chocolate buttercream frosting.  These were two firsts for me, as all my cakes up to this point were 8-inch rounds with white buttercream.  I used yellow icing for the border and for the writing, and the gum paste flowers from Shop Bakers Nook.

Unfortunately I don't have any pre-decorated photos because at this point it was closing in on midnight and I just wanted to make sure I got it all done. 




The flower placement was definitely one of the more intensive pieces.  I was
very picky!  I love the date written around the curve of the petal.
