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! ;)

I would like to express my thanks to the writer just for bailing me out of such a problem. Because of surfing around throughout the online world and meeting tricks which were not pleasant, I believed my life was gone. Existing without the presence of solutions to the difficulties you've resolved as a result of the website is a critical case, and those that would have in a wrong way affected my entire career if I had not encountered your website. Your main ability and kindness in dealing with the whole lot was very useful. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't encountered such a step like this. I'm able to at this point relish my future. Thanks for your time so much for the skilled and effective guide. I won't think twice to refer your site to any person who will need counselling about this subject matter.

I in addition to my guys were found to be viewing the good tactics located on your site while then came up with a terrible feeling I never thanked the web blog owner for those strategies. All of the young men are already happy to see them and already have without a doubt been loving these things. Thanks for truly being well kind and for deciding on certain perfect useful guides millions of individuals are really desperate to understand about. My personal honest regret for not expressing appreciation to you sooner.

Entirely was the alarming condition for me, however , taking a look at the expert fashion you dealt with it forced me to leap for contentment. Extremely grateful for the information and then believe you realize what a powerful job you are getting into instructing many others with the aid of your website. More than likely you've never come across all of us.

The tips in addition acted to provide a fantastic way to fully grasp that other people have similar desire the same as mine to see many more in terms of this condition.
