Bridal show cake

This print was done first by Amanda, She was so kind to share how to do this cake. I had been looking for this print all over the place for cookies and ornament cookies www.flickr.com/photos/cakesbyshara/1847685339/ plus I so wanted to do a black and white cake for my bridal show coming up, so when I saw Manda's cake yesterday I had a manic moment LOL
The bow is fashioned in the style of Anne from the pink cake box. I think Manda did a much better job on hers and I am so thankful for the willingness she has to share. THIS WAS A HARD CAKE the patterns will never match well so if you are OCD leave this kind of cake alone!

Thank you Manda!!
