These are photos of my best friends wedding cake. The topper was white cake, with a blackberry filling, and a butter cream frosting. Their main cake was a cheese cake tier with fresh black berries. The whole cake was for serving and the topper is for their one year anniversary.
The cheese cake recipe is from Wilton's website, I used fresh lemon zest to lighten the flavor a little more. It was a fantastic cheese cake with cream cheese frosting, piping the sides. The tier serves approx 75 people.
