Red Velvet Groom's Cake with Pecans, Cross Horseshoe Brand, & Rope Border

This is sort of random for me to be posting this today - but here it is... a Red Velvet Groom's Cake with Pecans, Cross Horseshoe Brand, & Rope Border.

This is my baby brother's groom's cake. I did it way back in 2010.  My brother's wedding (and wedding cake) is what sparked this venture into my cake business and blog.

I have a picture of this cake posted on this other groom's cake post, but I wanted Jake's cake to have it's very own post... so here it is.

This was a 9x13 red velvet cake (two layers) filled and covered with cream cheese frosting.  I then covered the entire thing in pecan pieces and centered his horse brand on top.

The brand was made with white chocolate and milk chocolate.  I rolled out several very long ropes of chocolate fondant, then braided them for the border.  It was a lot of work... but so worth it!  He loved his cake and that's all that mattered to me!

Did I miss any details?  Do you have any questions about this cake?  Please leave them in the comments!
