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 were glad that Louis could finish up his inquiry using the ideas he got through your web pages.

I have to express thanks to the writer for rescuing me from such a difficulty. Just after surfing through the the web and coming across principles which were not pleasant, I was thinking my entire life was gone. Existing without the presence of strategies to the issues you've sorted out by means of your main guide is a serious case, and those which may have in a negative way damaged my career if I hadn't discovered your website. Your own personal know-how and kindness in maneuvering everything was crucial. I am not sure what I would have done if I had not come upon such a point like this. I'm able to at this point look ahead to my future. Thanks so much for the impressive and sensible help. I will not hesitate to refer the website to any individual who should receive tips on this situation.

I intended to write you that little bit of observation to be able to say thanks over again with your stunning ideas you've contributed at this time. It was surprisingly generous with people like you to grant unhampered what exactly numerous people could possibly have offered for sale as an e-book to help make some bucks on their own, principally considering the fact that you might have tried it if you wanted. These guidelines also acted as the fantastic way to be sure that the rest have the identical dreams much like my very own to find out whole lot more on the topic of this condition. I know there are a lot more pleasurable times in the future for individuals that scan through your website.
