The cake in the garden, where it was served with Champagne and Coffee
The little pair I made for the Wedding Cake, in Mette and Brian’s apartment window. The cake was an amazing and a beautiful creation. The brides Mother made three sizes of a delicious five layer chocolate cake, filled with chocolate butter cream between each layer.
My sister-in-law made roses and stephanotis flowers out of gum paste, at her home in New Hampshire, ready to be placed on the cake after she frosted it in Denmark.
I made the topper and purchased the Grecian columns here in the States. In Denmark I helped and gave my Sister-in-law morale support, while she was frosting and constructing the cake, right after her long flight from the US to Denmark.
Before we arrived in Denmark there were many phone calls between New Hampshire, New Jersey and Denmark. We talked about what our plans were and what we need to buy and where and who would buy each item need for the cake.
Many years ago my Sister-in-law was a professional cake decorator with a booming business. She had decorated many cakes for my Son’s Birthdays so it had now come full circle she decorated his Wedding Cake.
I venture a guess that not many wedding cakes are made by the Mother of the Bride, the Grooms Aunt and the Mother of the Groom, in three different place and two countries.
The cake was a huge success as most of the Danish people had never seen an American style Wedding Cake like it before.

WOW Mo'a - I was zooming in to see the brind and groom figures, wondering where on earth you found such a pair... when I realized they had your style written all over them! Well done - certainly a lot of talent went into the entire creation! It is lovely, and will be a cake that can't be forgotten! I admire people with such artistic talent - the flowers are lovely as well.
not brined... I hope! Bride that is...
Wow LovaMo'a! What a beautiful story and how amazing a gift for the bride and groom... not only in the making of the cake nor in the cake itself but in the memories they shall hold forever dear and what a sweet story to someday tell their kids!
I loved the little peeks into Denmark too... I miss it so much. I haven't been there in 19 years (can you believe it?) but I used to go there 2 to 3 times a year as a child until I was 12... the calmest and most serene memories of my life are in Denmark...
Thanks for that peek too! Have a beautiful weekend my dearest LovaMo'a and keep these beautiful posts coming!
OH MY!! the Bride and Groom turned out to be even *more* magical than i'd imagined they'd be (and trust me, after seeing what you're capable of doing, my expectations were extremely HIGH!)
that cake is absolutely gorgeous, and i'm guessing your son and new daughter-in-law were delighted beyond words. really, Mo'a, you outdid yourself... and i have no doubt your artestry (along with the magnificent efforts of your sister-in-law and the Bride's own mother) added a memorable element to an already memorable day!
BEAUTIFUL, just BEAUTIFUL!! and THANKS so much for posting the picture, because i was very anxious to see what the cake looked like once it was put together! you are *truly* a gifted artist, my friend. xoxo
Dear Terry: You are so good for my ego. It was great fun to make this pair however a lot of pressure....it is hard to make things for your family nothing is ever good enough.
We will for sure be talking about the time we made the wedding cake together.

Neva: You my dear Neva, have given my ego a huge boost.....I must be careful that is does not get to big. You along with Terry and MizB. are all so kind and I love having you as my fans....see the ego is already getting too big :>
It was such a pleasure for us to share the work on the cake and Brian and Mette were delighted.

It was a remarkably lovey cake, even more so when it was a co-op thing. Wonderful to keep it in the family.
Thank you Richard....good to see that you have visited my blog :)
I had been on vacation and have some catching up to do I see.
Wow such a beautiful cake and the beautiful story and love behind it makes it all the more special. I am sure it is unique in the how and who made it. Especially the love part - to start a marriage with such family love and support is a testament to your wonderful family. The bride and groom cake topper is a fairy tale in and of itself.
