The little droplets of caramel that form between the strands are referred to as Angel's Tears. On a humid day the sugar will collapse and lose it's volume. I warn prospective brides about this when they request it. It will still look nice... it just won't be as fluffy and glittery. Yesterday was a perfectly dry gorgeous day and the sugar turned out brilliantly!
As the banquet manager handed them to me for positioning she said, "This one is the Bride & this one is the Groom." Ummm... ok... if you say so!
There were one dozen 'side cakes'. Each was a different flavour which was printed on a card & placed in front of each cake. The flavours were:
No, not that! Dirty minds!
It's a super heavy marble!
OOOOOh
He made this bowl.
a vanilla cookie bowl.
There.
A white butter cake with white chocolate French buttercream filling. A pretty pink cake for a little girls golden birthday! I also made her Mom's wedding cake yeaaarssss ago.
A lovely golden tiara with rock candy accents and silver dragees. Sparkly!
Another white butter cake , this time with cream cheese filling. This was for a 6 year anniversary. She wanted a mini replica of the wedding cake I made for them. I couldn't get the fresh champagne grapes that adorned the original cake so I improvised. I piped them with tinted buttercream and tucked in a few chocolate stems.
The leaves were jinhand moulded out of fondant, texturized and brushed with a dutch dark cocoa powder. The original cake was dotted with caramel corkscrews as well, which would not have stood up today in the heatwave we were suddenly subjected to.
Oh no.
