Buttercream Wedding Cake with Cascading Flowers

The couple’s three-tier cake was frosted in Swiss buttercream and incorporated two kinds of cake flavors: vanilla genoese with lemon and raspberry mousse for Rachel and red velvet for Rob. The cake was topped with cascading blooms in white, pink and purple. “Instead of a cake topper, we opted for a custom firefighter helmet shield with our names and wedding date in homage to Rob’s job,” Rachel says.
