On Valentine's Day, my church offered a reaffirmation of vows ceremony for married couples and asked me to create a "wedding reception" for the event. I made 9-inch, 8-inch, and 6-inch Vanilla Bean Cream layer cakes filled and frosted with Vanilla Bean Buttercream, as well as a "groom's cake" that was an 8-inch square Chocolate Fudge cake filled and frosted with Chocolate Fudge Buttercream. To create a tiered effect, I placed the cakes on cake pedestals of varying heights.
I scattered tiny pearlized hearts and silk rose petals on the tables, and placed candles in crystal candlesticks to create a romantic glow. Since families were invited, faux champagne and plastic flutes made the reception kid-friendly.
