Spring has finally arrived! Cherry Blossoms Wedding Cake

I know spring has arrived when I see the beautiful cherry blossoms outside the bay window in my kitchen;
I can’t wait for the first blooms to arrive every year to tell me that the too-long New England winter is finally over.

So last year when wedding icon Maria McBride (BRIDES wedding style director) commissioned me to create a Spring wedding cake with a bird-inspired theme for their 2010 Jan. issue, I immediately thought of a lovely birds nest sitting atop the branch of a cherry tree.
