BOUGAINVILLEA WEDDING CAKE

I made this cake for my best friends niece.  She wanted pink and red bougainvillea on the cake.  I had never used these flowers on a cake before so I tested them out first.  They do not do well as cut flowers so I had to cut and place the bougainvillea on the cake just one hour before the wedding started.
The flavor of the cake was carrot cake with cream cheese filling.  I iced the cake with vanilla buttercream and did a simple rustic design on the cake.
