Casie & Bo's Wedding Cake & University of Florida Gator Grooms Cake





Casie & Bo wanted a fun and colorful Wedding Cake - she chose her flowers and colors to match her brides maids dresses, her flowers matched the flowers on the tables and colorful napkins that were placed through out the decorated stables.  She wanted her square cake offest at different angles each layer to be more fun with colorful fondant dots that also matched her four colors.  The cake was a 12 in square bottom tier - vanilla cake, third tier - carrot cake - cream cheese filling, second tier - red velevet - cream cheese filling, top tier was also vanilla cake - brides favorite flavor.  Covered with vanilla buttercream, fondant ribbons that also matched her four colors in her wedding.  The colors were perfect for this time of year.
