I made this Bas-relief Inspired White Wedding Cake a few weeks ago and forgot to share it with you here on my blog .
Bas-relief is a kind of sculpture that has less depth to the faces and figures then they actually have giving the faces and sculptures a more 3D effect.

While the Bas-relief was first on the design elements, the second most important was the sugar flowers. Some gorgeous collection of my David Austin Roses, Classic Roses, Hydrangeas, Orchids and berries.

You can learn how to make the Gum Paste Cabbage Rose in my latest tutorial as well as the Classic Sugar Roses. 

The cake flavors are my

The little flower vase on top is carved from Styrofoam and covered in fondant. I used Satin Ice fondant here but you could use my homemade Sugar Paste as well.

For the bas-relief I used a combination of molds I have. These are not exact but similar to what I have. I usually buy my molds just because I tend to like the design when window shopping and I have so far really made a good collection.

The couple is a silhouette I cut using a cookie cutter. But most often I do these by just printing a picture I like from the internet and then cutting it on black fondant with a sharp exact-o-knife.

Of course all of this starts with the most basic foundation from baking, layering, getting sharp edges, covering your cake in fondant as well as doweling and stacking your cakes.  You can learn all this from me here in my online videos
