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! ;)

Thank you for each of your labor on this blog. My mom enjoys conducting investigations and it's really obvious why.

My spouse and i have been now peaceful when John managed to finish up his investigation using the precious recommendations he received in your weblog. It's not at all simplistic to just happen to be giving for free secrets which usually people today have been selling. And now we fully understand we now have the writer to be grateful to for that. The illustrations you have made, the easy site menu, the relationships you will make it possible to promote - it's got mostly awesome, and it's making our son and our family feel that this idea is cool, which is truly important. Many thanks for the whole lot!

All the illustrations you made, the straightforward website navigation, the relationships you will help to engender - it is many awesome, and it is assisting our son in addition to us feel that this situation is brilliant, which is certainly wonderfully vital.
