I did this cake last weekend for my cousin. The bottom three layers were done with rice crispy treats, covered in butter cream frosting and then in marshmallow fondant. The top two layers were chocolate cake with chocolate cream filling and then covered the same as the other layers. I designed the scroll pattern and piped it on with butter cream frosting. I also designed and arranged the flowers myself.

The bow is made from fondant and was covered in pearl luster dust (which can't be seen from the picture, but looked very pretty in person).
