Our assignment for this week was to make a 3-tier wedding cake from start to finish. I was pretty worried; before starting pastry school I could hardly pull off a layered birthday cake. I decided right away that I didnt want to make a frilly, lacy, traditional white-on-white wedding cake. I wanted something fun, funky, and different. I am really pleased with the results. Here it is:
The cake is fondant dots on buttercream. The blue looks so much cooler in person, it is metallic and very shimmery. The flowers and made of sugar gumpaste. I learned to make them but I have to be honest and say that I did not, in fact, make these. It is a long, long process to make gumpaste flowers and I found these at a cake supply store for a price that could not be beat. For the time involved to make them it is much preffered to purchase them if you can find the flower you are looking for.
