    Jelly Bean Jewel Box Cake

    The subtle shine and diminutive shape of jelly beans remind us of colorful gems. So we arranged them into necklacelike garlands that appear to hang along the curves of three petal-shaped fondant-covered tiers.

    Chocolate Sampler Cake

    A chocolate sampler inspired this cake. Ribbons trim the cake board, while the the cake itself mimics a chocolate box with its bands of tempered white chocolate piped with royal icing. Hand-molded truffles by Christopher Norman Chocolates line the tiers.

    Truffle Tower Cake

    This mesmerizing tower is inspired by the croquembouche, the traditional French wedding cake. Instead of pastries, we affixed chocolate truffles -- rolled in assorted cocoa powders from the United States, France, and Holland -- to the outside of a yellow butter cake filled and frosted with a dense, dark ganache.

    Pastry Box Cake

    This cake was modeled on Fauchon's monogrammed pink pastry boxes, or boites roses. To mimic the color of the boxes, we used tinted white chocolate, and the cake itself is vanilla sponge with strawberry syrup and mousse. To complete the illusion, almond macaroons in raspberry, chocolate, pistachio, and passion fruit are piled on and around the tiers.

    Mini Cupcake Cake

    Surrender yourself to sugar: Miniature chocolate and vanilla cupcakes line the white-fondant tiers of this playful cake. Brown- and pink-hued paper flags bearing the newlyweds' names wave from the cupcake perched on top.
