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 intended to draft you that very little word just to give thanks over again with your great advice you've shared in this case. This is simply pretty open-handed of you to allow publicly what many people would've sold as an e-book in order to make some profit for their own end, chiefly considering the fact that you could possibly have tried it in case you desired. The advice as well worked to provide a good way to know that someone else have similar dreams like my very own to see whole lot more with regards to this problem. I'm certain there are a lot more enjoyable occasions up front for folks who view your site.

I would like to show some thanks to this writer for bailing me out of such a trouble. Because of searching throughout the the net and meeting opinions that were not productive, I was thinking my life was done. Being alive devoid of the solutions to the issues you've resolved by means of this article is a crucial case, as well as those that would have negatively damaged my career if I hadn't come across your blog post. Your primary natural talent and kindness in taking care of every item was important. I'm not sure what I would have done if I hadn't encountered such a solution like this. I can now relish my future. Thanks so much for the reliable and effective help. I won't be reluctant to endorse your web blog to any person who ought to have guidance on this area.
