Whimsical February Wedding

This cake is for a friend/client who is getting married today (congratulations, Thoko!).  It's a 12"-9"-6" three-tier cake frosted in buttercream.  The top and bottom tiers are yellow cake with strawberry buttercream filling, and the middle tier is chocolate with vanilla buttercream.  The bride didn't want a super-traditional cake, so we decided that the whimsical rope design was the way to go.  I really hated that I could not get the edges of the cake smoother, but I will definitely figure that out before the next buttercream-finished cake comes around.  Now, wish me luck with delivering this cake as I have to drive it over an hour away!
