Wedding Cake – Kitchener-Waterloo, ON
Last weekend Icing Inspirations held their 2nd Annual Cake Competition and just like last year I signed up weeks in advance fully intending to prepare my showpiece WAY ahead of time. Well…that didn’t happen. After a very busy June I found myself staring at my cake sketch and all my materials the night before the submission deadline. Yeesh. Here we go again. My sketch had actually been completed several weeks earlier, but I knew I was going to have to tweek the original design in order to finish it on time as there was just too much to do.
Having entered the Professional Division, I had to design a 3, 4 or 5 tier wedding cake based on the description of a fantasy couple. There was a lot of information in the write-up so lots of opportunity to take an idea and create something unique. I decided to place my focus on the bride’s love of fashion, sparkle, and a little bit of her dress. There was also a push towards French-inspired fashion on this cake along with a handwritten French note since the couple was engaged in Paris.
After twelve hours here’s what came out of the kitchen and everything on this cake is edible! All of the buttons and brooches were created from custom molds and the brooches and borders were hand studded for extra detail.
I love this cake. In fact, I think it’s one of my all time favourites. And it placed third overall which is equally as satisfying! Next year I’ll be sure to figure out a game plan even further in advance. Although that’s what I said last year…
