This pretty "Boho" wedding cake was for my son and his new wife. I started out 2023 with a wedding in my own family. It was a Vanilla Cake with Caramel Toffee Crunch filling and Swiss Meringue Buttercream frosting. They used a photo of themselves as the topper and I dressed it up with flowers, feathers and pearls to match the brides bouquet. They chose to have the wedding dinner at The Lobster Shack in Jeannette since it was just a small wedding with only family in attendance.
