Sara and Moody's Wedding Cake of Travels Together

Sara and Moody are a fun, adventurous couple that love to travel!  They were very hands-on in the design of their 3 tier wedding cake - they wanted it to be a representation of all their favorite travel destinations.  The result - an elaborate and fun cake with destinations including Egypt, Miami Beach, Monaco, Monte Carlo, and Minneapolis.  We also included 3D elements like a sculpted red vespa scooter, a little pair of flip flops, and poker chips all made out of fondant.  And we got a kick out of the wedding topper that the couple found with a soccer playing groom and his fan bride.  What a unique wedding cake for this amazing couple!

There were also a variety of miniature desserts to surround the cake which included Key Lime and Tiramisu Dessert Shooters, Chocolate and Vanilla Cake Lollipops, Black Velvet Mini Cupcakes, and Chocolate Covered Strawberries.

The modern and stylish reception at the Edina Westin looked like a fabulous setting for a celebration - I'm sure all of the guests had a blast!
