If there's one thing you have to be able to do to be a cake decorator, it's react on short notice whenever possible. This wedding cake came about after a Friday evening phone call asking if I could have a wedding cake ready for pick up in about 36 hours. In many cases I would have had to say no but as it turned out I could pull it off this time. The bride's only request was for the cake to look elegant, with sugar pearls and a small splash of plum purple to match her wedding color scheme. This is what I came up with. The cake underneath is red velvet with a cream cheese icing.
