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! ;)

Needed to create you this little bit of observation to be able to say thanks a lot yet again on your lovely basics you have featured on this page. It's pretty open-handed of you to give openly exactly what many of us could possibly have offered for sale for an electronic book to earn some money for themselves, notably given that you might well have done it in the event you considered necessary. Those solutions as well served to provide a easy way to understand that other people online have the same eagerness the same as my very own to know significantly more with respect to this matter. I believe there are some more fun periods up front for folks who scan your website.

My husband and i got so peaceful when John managed to finish off his investigation through your ideas he obtained from your web page. It's not at all simplistic to just continually be freely giving methods some other people may have been selling. So we remember we need you to appreciate for that. All the illustrations you made, the simple site navigation, the relationships you can give support to engender - it is mostly exceptional, and it's really leading our son in addition to us understand this subject is interesting, and that's pretty pressing. Thanks for everything!

Thank you for your whole work on this site. My niece really loves setting aside time for research and it's really easy to understand why. A lot of people hear all regarding the dynamic means you create insightful items via your web blog and even invigorate participation from other individuals on the point so my daughter is actually being taught a great deal. Take pleasure in the rest of the year. You're carrying out a brilliant job.
