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 simply desired to thank you so much all over again. I am not sure the things that I would've created in the absence of the entire points provided by you concerning that question. It was before a very distressing concern in my position, however , taking a look at a new skilled way you dealt with it forced me to cry over delight. Now i am grateful for this help and thus sincerely hope you really know what a powerful job you were accomplishing training people through your blog post. I'm certain you've never met all of us.

I have to express appreciation to the writer for bailing me out of this particular challenge. Just after scouting throughout the search engines and obtaining thoughts that were not pleasant, I believed my entire life was done. Being alive devoid of the solutions to the problems you have solved as a result of the post is a crucial case, and the ones that could have in a wrong way damaged my career if I hadn't discovered your site. Your good talents and kindness in dealing with every item was very useful. I am not sure what I would have done if I had not come across such a point like this. It's possible to at this point look ahead to my future. Thanks for your time so much for the expert and result oriented help. I won't be reluctant to propose your site to anyone who desires tips on this subject.
