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 thrilled Edward managed to finish up his analysis from your precious recommendations he had using your web site. It's not at all simplistic to just continually be freely giving guidelines which usually a number of people could have been making money from. And now we recognize we have got the website owner to thank for this. The entire illustrations you have made, the straightforward blog menu, the friendships you can aid to engender - it is most amazing, and it's leading our son and the family recognize that this issue is enjoyable, which is certainly unbelievably indispensable. Many thanks for the whole thing!

My husband and i have been quite joyful when Louis could complete his homework from your precious recommendations he had when using the site. It is now and again perplexing to just find yourself releasing ideas which often other people could have been making money from. And now we fully understand we need the writer to thank because of that. All the illustrations you made, the easy site navigation, the relationships your site help foster - it's got mostly extraordinary, and it's letting our son and us feel that the subject is awesome, and that is highly vital.
