Santa's in town Winter Theme Cake

This is my most recent wedding cake. I made this for a lovely bride who wanted a White wedding cake, with a winter theme and a little Christmas involved. This is what I sketched for her and she loved it.

The Flavors you ask?

I love it when brides take the time to evaluate and decide their flavors rather than just choosing simple vanilla and chocolate because it will please everyone. This one has some of my favorites.

Top tier - Moist Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Second Tier - Earl Grey Cake with Swiss Meringue Buttercream
Third Tier - Classic Vanilla Cake with Swiss Meringue Buttercream
Bottom Tier - Double Chocolate Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Swiss Meringue and Chocolate Ganache
