A Groom’s Cake To Beat All Groom’s Cakes

This Kente cloth with a Benin staff decoration is exquisite. Take a look at the lace “George” details and the shimmering bead—it’s almost too good to wear.
A Crown Fit For A Princess
The linen on the box perfectly complements that white crown, which is everything. The box, too! There’s no reason to eat this cake.
If I Were A Bride…
Should this be my wedding cake, I will gladly load it up and head over to my husband’s place. Everything revolves around the isi agau detail on the box’s fabric!
