The Brush Stroke Cake is a staple in overseas weddings ♩
This design features many thin chocolate plates resembling thorns, feathers, or gemstones decorating the sides of the cake.
Since it was first introduced on Marry's website and Instagram, it has spread among Japanese brides, and recently we are starting to see it more at domestic weddings too*
