I based my wedding cake off the song “Don’t Let Me Down”. John Lennon wrote this song for Yoko Ono- the first of many. John’s love for Yoko shows through the soulful wails. I find this song to be one of the sexiest the Beatles’ songs. Every lyric and note hits me hard. The first three seconds instantly puts me in a mellow dazed mood. To me the Beatles are more than just a musicians- they are personal heroes. I grew up with the Beatles and their music. This cake is close to my heart.
The song “Don’t Let Me Down” was performed in the infamous rooftop concert. I am basing my color scheme off that iconic image of the four Beatles performing. The day they performed was in the middle of winter and overcast. The scene was mostly brown, gray and dull except for a few popping colors. George Harrison had on some great sea foam green pants and Ringo Starr wore a bright orange-red coat.. I choose to use large white flowers- pulling from the flower power of that decade. The poppy flower works perfectly. It was popular in the sixties, plus it has the drug influence tied in.
