Flower Garden Cake

This is the same cake that I made for my mother's birthday two weeks ago. I made it for a priest, it was for his mother's 75th birthday and she loved the cake!

I REALLY need to work on writing with royal icing! I used a cake dummy for the top layer so that the lady could save it, and the bottom two layers are white cake filled with chocolate buttercream, they're covered in buttercream not fondant.
As with the cake I made two weeks ago, these flowers are purchased from cakedecor.com.
