Faux wedding cake for wedding expo table

My boss used this to teach me how to do a fondant cake - she colored the fondant and draped the bottom layer, I draped the middle and top layers and smoothed them. Fondant was draped over Styrofoam with egg whites for quick dry and easy set up for wedding expo. The topper is a salt and pepper shaker set. 

I cut out, veined and dried each leaf and "glued" them with BC around each tier

Henna piping for Melissa

This is a cake for Melissa Seng's wedding in North Carolina. Her aunt made the cake and iced it. I arrived a few days early to spend time with my friend and only made the purple icing to match her invitations and pipe the henna designs on after her aunt dropped off the cake. 
I used a swiss meringue icing recipe and added violet gel coloring made by wilton. 
The entire design was piped on using a piping bag and a no. 2 round tip.
