The Actual Wedding Cake

Finally, after months of waiting, here are the pictures of the completed wedding cake. I made all the parts and then had to send it with the bride's sister. I never actually saw it completely finished. There were a second set of pillars for between the top pillars, they were only three inch ones, but I don't know if they ever ended up using them. They were getting ready to cut into it, so the ribbon on the middle layer was already taken off.

The cake was three layers, with a fountain in between. It was a pretty simple design she wanted, square with ribbon. The cake is carrot cake and a cream cheese icing all covered with white fondant that I made.

Practice. . .

A couple months ago I offered to make a wedding cake for a friend. Well the wedding is next week so I thought I should probably make a practice cake so she knows that I'm not completely incompetant. :)

It's a pretty basic cake. This is mainly so she can try it and make sure that I understand what she wants. It's going to be three tiers with a fountain between the bottom and top two tiers. Since her colors are blue and green, we'll alternate ribbons on the tiers.

The bottom tier will be sixteen inches, then there will be the fountain with the clear pillars I found. The top tiers will be twelve inches and eight inches. If you look closely at the background, you can see the fountain in the background.

We're doing carrot cake with cream cheese icing. Then nice, smooth fondant to cover and make it look good. Pictures of the finished product will be coming in the next couple weeks!

Wedding Cake

On August 1, my Uncle got married. In about April we were discussing their wedding plans, and Aunt Janet described what she wanted in a wedding cake. I told her that sounded pretty simple and she asked if I'd like to do the cake. The wedding was about four days after I got home from school, so it was a little crazy and I was very busy.

The cake was a three tiered white square cake. The top and bottom tier were filled with strawberry cream and the middle layer was a vanilla filling. The cakes were frosted with vanilla buttercream and then covered in a white fondant.

On top, we did evenly spaced dots in sets of three and green ribbon around each layer. Finally we placed a small arrangement of white roses on top. I really liked how smooth the fondant turned out and the dots were nice and even.
