180 servings of bridal white cakes covered with buttercream, black fondant bands, black buttercream designs and sugar pearls painted with edible pearl dust. We added red rose bouquets to the top and sides to complete the cake

But.........he lost the boxes on the way leaving a trail of the treats on the road.
This was a fun cake for the groom who works for UPS.

Wedding Cake
This fondant covered wedding cake is a design adapted from a recent bridal magazine. The bride wanted the designs to be shades of turquoise with black accents. Every circle, every dot, every petal had to be individually hand cut and reconstructed into a flower or some type of flowing design on the cake. The most demanding design element was the very large 3-D flower on the front of the cake. The flower was made up completely of graduating sizes of circles. The circles had to dry before we could reconstruct them into a flower. We were very pleased with the way the cake looked........almost exactly like the photo in the bridal magazine!
And we hear the bride loved the cake!

Wedding Cake with Pink Sugar Roses


Hexagon shaped cake tiers are covered with white rolled fondant

and fondant swags.

Royal icing is then used to create a detailed pattern on the fondant.

Hand made sugar flowers of royal icing and gumpaste fill the spaces between the cake tiers and create a "sugar flower bouquet" on top of the cake.
About Fondant
The smooth finish of fondant helps show off the shape of carved and speciality shape cakes.
Our fondant has a taste that is very much like marshmallows! Very yummy.
Don't worry, you still get our buttercream under the fondant.
Most wedding cakes shown in the bridal magazines are covered and decorated with fondant.
The fondant is what makes them look so smooth and wonderful.
Fondant takes color much better than buttercream and can be mixed to almost match any wedding color.
We have created some beautiful cakes using bright and dark colors to completely cover the cakes.
But......these intense colors are usually best used in small amounts as accents colors over lighter background color.
