Anniversary Cake

40th Wedding Anniversary Cake.  This is an almond cake filled with 3 layers of raspberry filling and almond buttercream!  Yum, the raspberry cuts the sweetness of the buttercream.  The flowers are made from gumpaste (my first attempt at gum paste roses) and this is also my first attempt at piping a swag design.  This cake is traveling 6 hours in the car so I really hope the couple likes it!

I have decided that piped writing is now my biggest challenge....well, other then getting a smooth finish with buttercream.
