Hello royal cake subjects!
Today I want to show you how we at Let Them Eat Cake! think it’s SO important to make cakes that have special meanings to the bride and groom. It’s one thing to make pretty cakes, but when you can capture the client’s personality in the cake, then we feel as though we’ve done our job.
Case in point, our Indian wedding cake. It was the Cake Queen’s attention to detail and research into Indian culture that sealed the deal on this project. Let’s take a closer look at the cake.
Hello cake lovers!
Here’s a story we just love at Let Them Eat Cake!
In the Summer of 2010, the Cake Queen got a request to do something she had never thought of attempting before: a wedding cake.
Up until then, her royal cake-ness had always said she never imagined herself doing wedding cakes.
The cake was for our dear friend, Jenna Crosswell (now Jenna Wallace). Something had fallen through with the original person who was going to do her wedding cake, so she asked the Cake Queen for help!
Excited, but nervous, our beloved Queen of Cakes said that she would gladly make her first wedding cake for Jenna.
That’s enough introduction! Here’s the cake!
All the flowers and bows/ribbons are made from gum paste and fondant. Tiers of cake include red velvet with cream cheese/marshmallow icing, carrot cake (same icing), chocolate and vanilla cake with raspberry filling and raspberry merengue icing and of course, the most requested chocolate bourbon cake with chocolate ganache filling and chocolate buttercream icing!
Not too bad for a first, huh? Actually, I personally think it ROCKS!
And the rest is history! How neat that the Cake Queen never thought she’d ever do wedding cakes, and now she does so many of them! Just proof that anything can happen!
Cheers,
Princess of Cakes
Hello royal cake subjects!
By royal decree, I must show you a FANTASTIC wedding cake the Queen delivered today.
This beautiful wedding cake was for Courtney Skipper and Aladdin Mozingo.
The flavors in this cake include: blueberry almond in the top and bottom tiers, and lemon in the middle! What a delicious summer flavor combination!
The blue hydrangea flowers and the swags (drapes) are made of gum paste, and the lace decorations are made of fondant.
Hope you enjoy looking at this cake just as much as the guests of this wedding enjoyed eating it!
Cheers,
Princess of Cakes
