Snowflakes

I know... It is just October and I shouldn't be thinking about winter yet... But I was asked to make a cake for a bridal shower with a Christmas theme and I couldn't refuse. This is the first cake I've made that has some non-edible hardware but I fell in love with the design when I was looking for ideas on cakecentral.com. Here is a link to the original.  I added some color and I couldn't figure out how to cut that large snowflake so I used the cutters I had and made some modifications to cut out the centers.   Overall I was really pleased with this cake.  To me it sophisticated and modern...
