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! ;)

My spouse and i have been quite contented Michael managed to deal with his investigation because of the precious recommendations he came across from your very own web site. It's not at all simplistic to simply happen to be giving away hints that many the rest have been making money from. So we realize we now have the writer to appreciate because of that. The entire illustrations you've made, the simple blog navigation, the relationships you will make it possible to promote - it is most superb, and it is letting our son and the family know that that situation is excellent, and that's pretty vital. Many thanks for the whole lot!

I wish to express my appreciation to you for bailing me out of this scenario. As a result of searching throughout the online world and obtaining methods that were not beneficial, I figured my entire life was done. Being alive devoid of the answers to the difficulties you've sorted out by means of your good website is a crucial case, as well as those that could have in a negative way damaged my entire career if I hadn't noticed your blog. Your good competence and kindness in handling almost everything was excellent. I am not sure what I would have done if I hadn't come across such a point like this. I can also at this point relish my future. Thanks for your time very much for the expert and amazing guide. I won't be reluctant to suggest your web blog to anyone who will need counselling on this problem.
