I really love this cake and btw... I don't often use words like "love" when speaking of one of my cakes. lol This cake eventually sported a 50th anniversary cake topper... but I don't have that photo available.
The beads and leaves are fondant covered in luster dust... the roses are simply white fondant. Very simple and elegant. Why I don't normally like to recreate the same cake twice... I think this piece of artwork might be the exception. :)
