Carnival-Themed 5-Tier DIY Wedding Cake

Ashley found the inspiration for her circus-themed wedding cake on Pinterest and took it one step further by choosing to create the entire cake by hand. Black and white fondant flags covered the base of the cake, while vintage portraits of circus performers added a fun touch. But nothing was more wow-worthy than the hollowed-out tier that contained a carousel horse music box. "I was browsing on eBay for props and came across the box," Ashley explains. "It was the perfect touch and definitely made the cake one-of-a-kind."
