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 have to show appreciation to the writer for rescuing me from this type of condition. Right after searching throughout the search engines and getting concepts which were not beneficial, I was thinking my entire life was over. Being alive without the presence of approaches to the problems you've resolved all through the guide is a critical case, and ones which might have badly affected my entire career if I had not discovered your blog post. Your good mastery and kindness in taking care of all the things was important. I'm not sure what I would've done if I hadn't encountered such a thing like this. I can also now look ahead to my future. Thank you so much for this high quality and sensible help. I won't think twice to propose the blog to any individual who would like guidance on this topic.

That mastery and kindness in dealing with all the details was tremendous. I'm not sure what I would have done if I hadn't encountered such a step like this. It's possible to at this point relish my future. Thanks very much for the impressive and effective help.

I would like to express my appreciation to you for bailing me out of this particular difficulty. Right after scouting through the the net and obtaining techniques which were not helpful, I was thinking my entire life was well over. Being alive minus the strategies to the problems you have solved as a result of your write-up is a crucial case, as well as the ones that might have in a wrong way damaged my entire career if I hadn't encountered your blog.
