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 and my friends ended up analyzing the good tips and tricks located on your web page and then immediately got an awful suspicion I never thanked the web blog owner for those secrets. Most of the boys ended up totally warmed to learn all of them and have in effect absolutely been taking pleasure in these things. We appreciate you being simply thoughtful as well as for picking out certain fabulous subject areas millions of individuals are really needing to understand about. Our honest apologies for not saying thanks to you earlier.

My husband and i have been really fortunate when John managed to carry out his basic research with the precious recommendations he came across from your own blog. It's not at all simplistic just to possibly be making a gift of strategies which often other people may have been making money from. We really do understand we have the writer to thank because of that. All the explanations you made, the simple web site menu, the friendships you can give support to foster - it's everything astonishing, and it is assisting our son in addition to us imagine that that theme is pleasurable, which is certainly quite essential. Thanks for the whole lot!
