Ours is a round, four tier wedding cake by Konditor Meister.    The cake will be covered in light ivory buttercream frosting with a wide navy ribbon overlaying a narrow champagne ribbon at the bottom of each layer and swiss dots decorating the entire cake.  The top and bottom layer will be carrot cake with cream cheese filling, the second layer will be chocolate cake with oreo filling (it reminded us of HoHo's), and the third layer will be gold cake with Grand Marinier filing and fresh strawberries.  One of my bridesmaids has informed me that she will be eating only cake-- four slices of it!  The photo to the left  is of Mark and me, stuffed with cake, on our way out of Konditor Meister.
