My friend Mandie got married on 07/07/2007 and she had picked out this beautiful cake from Martha Stewart Weddings. It was perfect to match the tropical theme of her wedding. Until her wedding I had never made a cake, but my mom thought I could make it as her wedding gift. I started to practice and I took classes and like most people, started cake decorating because I thought making a wedding cake sounded like fun and I wanted to help out my friend. To keep with the tropical theme each tier had white cake and a different filling...lemon, pineapple and my favorite mango mousse. The cake was covered in fondant and stamped with a wave impression. The edges of the cake were detailed with bamboo made of fondant. My husband even made a special stand out of granite to display my creation. The cake was a huge hit and I felt so special to be able to be part of her wedding day!
One year later and many cakes later I made Mandie and Vetala an anniversary cake. I used the same color fondant to make a bow and the wave impression in the bow pieces. I made pieces of bamboo to wrap around the cake to tie into their wedding cake.

Love how you kept the same theme for the new anniversary cake. You've come along way since the first one. Did you airbrush the bamboo? it looks so real.
The bamboo is a combination of fondant and chocolate clay and then dusted with petal dust by hand. Thanks!
