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 needed to compose you that very little remark to finally say thanks a lot once again about the gorgeous opinions you've featured on this page. This has been certainly extremely generous of people like you to grant without restraint all most of us would have advertised for an ebook to help make some profit on their own, most notably since you might have tried it if you ever desired. Those points also acted as the great way to realize that the rest have the identical desire just like my own to understand a great deal more when considering this condition. Certainly there are several more pleasurable moments ahead for folks who go through your website.

I have to show thanks to the writer for bailing me out of this particular issue. Because of researching through the the net and obtaining principles that were not pleasant, I believed my entire life was well over. Existing without the approaches to the problems you have sorted out all through your main guideline is a serious case, and ones that would have in a negative way affected my career if I had not come across your web blog. Your good mastery and kindness in playing with all things was precious. I don't know what I would have done if I had not come across such a point like this. It's possible to now relish my future. Thanks a lot very much for the reliable and effective guide. I will not be reluctant to propose your blog to any individual who should get guide on this subject matter.
