My Big Fat Wedding Cake

So this is the last project before the final test and practical. We were given a scenario for the wedding. The couple is young and fun. The brides dress is pink and yellow and the bridesmaids dresses are pink. The wedding is going to be in Fiji and the couple would like their cake to be made of macadamia nut sponge soaked in coconut malibu rum simple syrup, mango curd with mango brunoise, coconut daqcuoise, and passion fruit mousse. That's a whole lotta stuff in a cake!

Each one of my butterflies was hand made and painted out of pastillage and luster dust. I tried to paint them each a little different so that no two would be alike. The entire cake was covered in fondant.

Surprisingly this cake was able to survive all the way home! Even with my crazy driving. People thought I was crazy carrying a three tiered wedding cake through the streets of Manhattan. Now I've been eating wedding cake for the past 4 days. Anyone want to come over for some?
