She absolutely loved these!!

A VERY SWEET BRIDAL SHOWER CAKE

This cake was done for a bridal shower with an afternoon tea theme.  That gave me the inspiration to make a lace tablecloth for the top of the cake.  I embossed the corners and highlighted them with luster dust, then "picot" the edges with royal icing string work.
The border was made by cutting out individual flowers and scrunching them to give a ruffle look.
Flavor of the cake is Chocolate Cake with a layer of Crunch and Ganache and two layers of Chocolate Mousse.
