Gilded Wedding Cake

Regal and Shiny!

This magnificient cake was for a wedding on lucky day 08/08/08.  The petit bride Thao wanted a cake that was larger than her and I think we succeeded!  This cake was made to feed about 75 people although it looks big enough to feed about 200.  The bottom two tiers are made of styrofoam.  The other cake flavors are red velvet cake with cream cheese filling, fresh lemon cake with lemon buttercream and fresh raspberries, and tiramusu.

King and Queen of Hearts

Casino Wedding Cake

Anita and James, the King and Queen of Hearts

 

 

Anita and James like to go to the casino, and really  like playing black jack.  So for their casino themed wedding, they wanted a cake that would match.  So I decorated the cake in the hearts and diamonds suits, made a couple of winning black jack card hands out of rolled fondant, and made a King and Queen of Hearts to top it off.  The King and Queen of Hearts are also made out of rolled fondant and glued to an edible dark chocolate stand.  And yes, the cards are all drawn free-hand out of food color.  The cake fed about 100 people and was vanilla with strawberries on the bottom layer, marbel with vanilla bean filling in the middle layer, and the top layer was chocoate blackout cake with bittersweet chocolate buttercream filling.
