Wedding Cake

 Wedding cakes, one of my first and it will never be one of my lasts.

 Gum paste lilies.

 Nine flowers, four tiers of carrot cake with oven roasted pecans. The top two tiers had no pecans for those that had allergies.

 The flowers were dusted with petal dust and luster dust. My assistant/ sister-in-law is truly an artistic genius! She did a stunning job and dusting the flowers.

 Four days of long hard work later we had a stunning cake for my friend.

 It was a hit. The guests enjoyed it and so did the bride and the groom. As a gift from the bakery to the happy couple I make them a separate tier for the couple to enjoy on their honeymoon.

 Chocolate, chocolate, and.... dare I say... more chocolate?

 This is a chocolate whipped iced cake, with chocolate whipped roses, ganache leaves, filled with Bavarian cream and more ganache.

Now the only real difference between these two cakes it the whipped icing. The top cake had a lot of air bubbles in mixture. The second one you can see the big difference. No air bubbles makes a HUGE difference. The shine to the roses on the bottom as well came from the air spray gun. If you have a pearl spray just to a light mist over the roses and leaves to get that beautiful shine to it.

 Clearly when someone works with cakes, and a pastry case you will make flowers, roses, pansy's, daisys, mums, sweet pea flowers, name it we try to make it out of icing. After learning basics for two weeks I was pulled aside to learn roses. I could have cried I was so happy. The rose above this was my teachers. The rest below are mine.

 This was my first rose I had ever made out of whipped icing. It was hard, but oh so much fun. Needless to say after my first rose I felt like I could take on the world.

 Which isn't true. You can't take on the world by just making roses out of whipped icing. Though you can truly try.

Or instead of trying just eat the delicious whipped rose and let the world go on without you for a few minutes. It's up to you really.

 One can never go wrong with making flowers. Flowers are stunning, beautiful and if made out of icing oh so delectable.
