A New First..Christening Cake

I was so excited when I was asked to create a cake for a baby christening. One of the websites I frequent for ideas has so many beautiful cakes for christening that I asked the client to check it out for ideas for her cake. We loved them all so much but narrowed it down and combined the look of two cakes to come up with this beautiful cake
The cake had one chocolate tier and one white tier all covered with buttercream. The band, bows and monogram are fondant
The one element this client absolutely wanted for her cake was a pink cross as the topper so I made this one using fondant and gumpaste. You can't really tell from the pictures but it's also covered with luster dust to give it an extra special look!
Here's the finished cake. I loved the luster dust SO MUCH that I also added it to the band and bows and ...the entire cake!! I wish the camera would have picked up more of the shimmer because this cake was just darling! It's inspired me to make one for Coco's dedication.
Congratulations on your Christening Mackenzie!
