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 pals came checking the good things located on your website then suddenly I got a terrible feeling I had not thanked the site owner for those strategies. These young men were definitely so excited to study all of them and have now truly been taking advantage of those things. Appreciation for being simply helpful and for utilizing varieties of incredibly good subject matter most people are really eager to be aware of. My very own sincere regret for not expressing appreciation to you earlier.

I and also my guys have already been going through the excellent tips and tricks on the website and then then I had a horrible feeling I had not expressed respect to you for those secrets. My young men happened to be absolutely warmed to read them and have in effect seriously been taking advantage of these things. Thanks for genuinely so thoughtful and for finding varieties of excellent areas most people are really wanting to know about. My personal honest apologies for not expressing appreciation to you sooner.
