This was such a fun cake to create. My bride for this cake was one of the most laid back, casual persons I have ever met. So much so that the direction I got for this cake was that she wanted a peacock theme as well as something fun and funky. That was it. She wanted the cake to be a surprise and trusted my design instincts. Yikes! Each tier stood approximately 8" high making the entire cake just shy of 3'.
