Damask cake with chandeliers and red roses

For a surprise birthday I created this four tier cake decorated with chandeliers, piped strands and a black damask pattern. The third tier is a red quilted cake with silver beads. On top is an arrangement of red roses and a fondant monogram.

Inside are tiers of white vanilla and red velvet cake with Madagascar vanilla bean, cream cheese and dulce de leche fillings.

The cake was delivered to Buddokan restaurant at the Chelsea Market in Manhattan.
