I think it's very pretty! What is that dark stuff on it though? I hear yucky things about fondant, that's why I ask. Definitely do a taste test, but seriously, that LOOKS awesome. What flavor(s) would you do?
I found it on the knot... "Mary and Pat's three-tier cake was drizzled with chocolate ganache, then decorated with roses and rose petals."
Ganache is normally made by heating heavy cream, then pouring it over chopped, dark chocolate. The mixture is stirred or blended until smooth, and can be enhanced with liqueurs or extracts. Depending on the kind of chocolate used, cream should be adjusted to reach desired consistency.
Fondant isn't great, but it's not the worst thing I've ever eaten, either. I hadn't gotten as far as flavor. We haven't investigated any bakeries yet.
