Re-inventing a Classic

Posted on August 3, 2017 at 12:20 AM

This past weekend we presented Carol and Raul's wedding cake at the Clinton Town Hall in Clinton, Massachusetts. Our lovely bride Carol is very traditional and wanted to have an old-school wedding cake with separate tiers, and fountains. Sometimes making classic cakes can feel a bit dated but I was up for the challenge. Carol is young and vibrant so I wanted to highlight her youth by adding a modern twist to her vision.


I decided to give it a fresh look by adding ruffles emulating the wedding dress, and gilded decorations. The touch of gold made the cake look regal and timeless. The bride also wanted to highlight her Caribbean roots by having bright flowers. I added white lilies and coral roses with touches of champagne spray roses. To add to the tropical theme, the bride and groom selected for cake flavors Passion Fruit, Morir Soñando (orange cream) and Pina Colada.

Now let's talk about the size of this cake. Holy macaroni! it's huge! Let's go over all it went in to create this cake:

For this 250 servings cake I used 156 eggs, 14 lbs of flour, 18 lbs of butter, 24 lbs of sugar, 15 lbs of fondant and about 10 grams of edible gold dust (believe me, that's a lot of gold). It took 45 hours to complete, 1.5 hours to deliver and 1.5 hours to set up at the venue. 


After all was said and done, I think I accomplished what I set out to do, create a breathtaking, classic, and timeless centerpiece for a delightful couple who celebrated their love in from of all their family and friends, and I couldn't be more proud. Mission Accomplished! ;)

My husband and i have been really comfortable Michael managed to round up his preliminary research using the precious recommendations he gained out of the web site. It is now and again perplexing to simply choose to be giving away instructions which the others have been selling. And we all fully understand we've got the website owner to appreciate for that. The main illustrations you made, the straightforward site menu, the friendships your site make it easier to foster - it's all unbelievable, and it's assisting our son in addition to the family understand this subject is enjoyable, which is exceedingly important. Many thanks for everything!

My spouse and i ended up being really fortunate that Louis managed to complete his investigations via the precious recommendations he received while using the web page. It is now and again perplexing just to possibly be handing out strategies others may have been selling. And we all do understand we have got the blog owner to appreciate because of that. The most important explanations you've made, the simple web site navigation, the relationships you will help instill - it is most great, and it's helping our son and us imagine that the concept is awesome, and that is wonderfully fundamental. Thank you for the whole thing!

Needed to create you that little remark in order to give thanks again for these pleasant things you've shared on this website. It has been so unbelievably open-handed of you to deliver extensively what a lot of folks could possibly have advertised as an ebook to help with making some money for their own end, mostly since you could possibly have done it if you ever desired. The concepts as well acted to provide a easy way to know that someone else have the identical passion like my personal own to learn more when considering this problem. I am certain there are lots of more pleasant opportunities ahead for people who browse through your site.
