Cultural Cakes - A Nigerian Wedding



This cake, resembling the gourd in the picture to the right, was made for the wedding celebration of a Nigerian couple. The red velvet cake frosted with vanilla buttercream was covered in fondant. The string was made of vanilla buttercream and the beads (or rocks) were also made out of fondant and placed individually unto the gourd. It was a great experience.
Shortly after the wedding I received the following note from the planner:
"Adesuwa and Abimbola enjoyed the cake. The guest were in awe of the cake and the decoration. Thank you for bringing Adesuwa's vision to life."

Best wishes to the bride and groom!
