Berry of a Cake

Isn't this a beautiful cake? I wanted to share a picture with you, as I think this is a great idea for decorating all kinds of cakes! Raspberries, blueberries, and Marion berries along with a cluster of small, smooth berries on a stem (I don't know what kind they were), arranged strategically on this cake. Placed at corners and in an artful arrangement on the top, this beautiful wedding cake inspires! The same idea can be used to decorate birthday cakes, cupcakes, or cheesecake. Berry sweet!

Rosemary said...: It is a beautiful cake La Tea Dah! I noticed it in the collage of wedding pictures you displayed the other day - my eye was drawn to its simple beauty. Thank you for featuring it up close! I love the different wedding cake designs, and using the fresh berries is so delightful! Now I'm torn between snitching a piece of icing on my finger or plucking a fresh berry and popping it in my mouth! What to do first?
