Wedding cakes for a good friends wedding. This was my first crack at the naked cake. It was a destination wedding, in a camping style venue. I was going to be making a lot of the product on site, and assembling it there, so naked cake was the way to go. Each tier was a different flavor buttercream, decorated in fresh ingredients to represent the flavor. Bottom tier of the white was blueberry, middle tier pistachio, top tier lemon. Bottom tier of chocolate cake was blackberry, middle tier raspberry, and top tier strawberry. Each flavor was made from scratch with fresh berry compotes and purees, mixed into Swiss meringue buttercream. 220 servings.
My third time getting to do an alice in wonderland themed cake. All three have been very different. For this one I really wanted the cake to match their party. I recreated the teacups and teapots they used for decorations from Gumpaste and fondant. The bottom tier has about 8 billion cut out leaves with individually pressed leaf grain. Hand made and hand painted mushrooms for detail. The rabbit on the top tier was hand painted on sugar paper and framed in gold. And a fondant Alice going down the rabbit hole topper. This cake was massive. The bottom tier was a 14 in diameter, by 6 inches high. The whole cake stood over 3 feet tall and was so heavy I couldn't lift it once the bottom three tiers were stacked. Happy birthday!!
4 tier wedding cake. I traveled this cake 3 1/2 hours in 108 degree weather. My most nerve racking delivery to date! Bottom tier made to look like luggage. Next tier hand cut chevron pattern. Middle tier hand painted watercolor style. Top tier hand painted map. The topper was custom ordered by the bride and groom from someone else.
