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 draft you one very little remark to finally say thank you again with the wonderful solutions you have discussed on this page. This has been quite surprisingly generous of people like you in giving freely exactly what a few individuals could possibly have advertised for an ebook in making some money for their own end, mostly given that you could have tried it if you wanted. The advice as well acted as the great way to know that someone else have similar desire the same as mine to grasp somewhat more in respect of this condition. I am certain there are thousands of more pleasurable periods in the future for people who see your site.

My women came for this reason thrilled to learn them and have now in fact been tapping into them. Many thanks for actually being very kind as well as for using some perfect ideas most people are really wanting to understand about. My honest apologies for not expressing appreciation to you earlier.
