Our Cake
What do you think?

I have finally put my cake pictures up ... I was saving the best for last! I must say ladies that I absolutely loved loved loved my cake. Not only did my baker do an amazingly fantastic job on the detail, it was utterly delicious and to die for! We did two layers of red velvet with creamcheese filling (a big hit), and a large layer of double chocolate, with chocolate grenache filling, all under a fondant layer!

I bought the sating ribbon from Michael's at $1.50 for two rolls, and the brooches I found at The Bay for $25.00 a piece. I know it's a bit to pay for brooches, but they looked so beautiful and I had switched my mind on my cake last minute and didn't have time to search through antique vintage shops. I originally had planned on a cake with gum paste flowers (roses) and fake edible pearls, but I am sooooo happy I changed my mind. Everyone loved our cake at the wedding too!

I posted the pictures in the blog so that when you click on them, they come up extra large on the computer. May be handy if someone likes the design and wants to share the idea with their wedding cake baker! I know the original picture I had shown my baker was very big and the detail was kind of blurry, thus they weren't sure how exactly at first they were going to create the lace effect. So hopefully this helps if anyones interested.

I know the style might not suit everyones taste, but I thought it turned out beautifully! Hope you ladies liked it as much as I do!?!

well, the fondant doesn't taste that great at all, at least I don't think so, however some people do like it - my maid of honor likes it just as much as buttercream. Although it doesn't taste as good, if your baker does a good job it shouldn't be too thick. It also peels off very easy! The caked had a lot of filing in it, so to just peel of the buttercream was nothing! I highly recommend for a clean appearance to go with the fondant. It holds everything in place structurally even if it's a bit warm out it'll hold. Unlike butter cream, if it gets warm out things may not hold so well like flowers, ribbon, or brooches!

hot pink, I didn't know you were a cake designer although I thought i remembered someone at one point saying they did. Anyways, this may sound horrible, but when I looked through my bakers photo album I found a lot of plain simple cakes or the classic with ribbon and tonnes of flowers on top. I think mine by far is one of the most classy, vintage, originals cakes they had ever done! I am brining them a professional picture in for them as they wanted it for their album. They also said it was one of their favorites they've ever made!
