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 wife and i have been quite contented that Raymond managed to complete his inquiry out of the precious recommendations he received using your web page. It's not at all simplistic to just find yourself offering techniques that the rest may have been trying to sell. And we take into account we need you to be grateful to because of that. The main illustrations you have made, the simple blog menu, the relationships you can make it easier to engender - it's mostly terrific, and it's making our son and our family feel that that idea is amusing, which is exceedingly serious. Thanks for all the pieces!

I would like to express some appreciation to the writer for rescuing me from such a problem. After looking out through the online world and coming across recommendations that were not powerful, I was thinking my life was gone. Being alive devoid of the answers to the problems you have sorted out as a result of your entire article is a critical case, as well as the kind which may have in a negative way damaged my career if I had not discovered your blog. That talents and kindness in playing with the whole lot was invaluable. I am not sure what I would have done if I hadn't come across such a subject like this. I can at this time look ahead to my future. Thanks so much for the high quality and result oriented guide. I will not hesitate to refer your blog post to anyone who should have support on this situation.
