White Wedding Cake with Green Mums
Ah, the elusive…green flower.
The what? Yes. The green flower. Rare, and a little strange, but always beautiful.
You can find green-hued flowers in varieties such as geraniums and orchids. But wait, this isn’t a botany blog, is it?
I love this cake. My love of white on white cakes was discussed last month here and here. And today, I find another example of a white on white cake, with just a little punch of unexpected color, via green flowers. The simple mums encircle the base of the top tier of this three-layered beauty, providing a jolt of fresh color – a perfect contrast with the earth tones of sky, rock, mountain, and evergreen that serve as a backdrop to this gorgeous, Whistler wedding (and really…don’t you just love saying Whistler wedding?)
Beyond the simplicity of the green mums, there are also the simplest of complimentary blooms – a white rose, a white daisy, and a sprig of something in the same verdant green as the mums. The buttercream-enrobed cake is simply decorated with white on white piping, with a different motif for each layer.
