ful swans between the divisions
and was used for all the figures
on the cake. Dolphins connected I
this base with the first tier of the |
cake, which was surrounded by l
cherubins. The second tier, en- j
circled in love birds, was sup
ported by cornucopias filled with
rosebuds. The third tier, en
closed by a lace work crown
which was topped with bells, held
the temple of love in which stood
the miniature bride and groom.
\Both the crown and temple were
decorated with silvery bragees.
A hand made lace cloth was used
on the table and touches of green
ery were at intervals.
The cake was made by Mr.

can ever to have won this honor.
