This stunning sweet showcased the unofficial color of the year – Marigold Yellow! This lovely shade completely won me over, in large part to this unbelievable cake. Tiers of textured buttercream became a unique and lovely color palette thanks to the pairing of yellow frosting with peach and lilac flowers! The candied orange slices added an extra sweet touch!
