You ARE a clever Jin... as always... do we still need to say how much we like how you decorate your cakes? Cause if it isn't obvious by now, then... well... um... very pretty cake Jinster!
Look at this piece of crap! http://janderson.net/photos/weddingcake.jpg I hated it. Wife liked it. I think she must have been experiencing temporary blindness.
It was all bumpy and looked dusty. I only ate one bite of it... yuck.
Ohhh... good enough to eat alright! It was all Red Velvet Cake layers brushed with a Turbinado Sugar Syrup and Cream Cheese Filling. Frosted with White Chocolate Buttercream! ;-)
"do we still need to say how much we like how you decorate your cakes?"
Ummm... Yes?! ;-)
jins like compliments. jins NEED compliments. A jin can never have too many compliments. ;-) However, a jin can have too few compliments which can cause a multitude of problems. So, you'd best air on the side of caution and keep 'em coming! ;-)
Awww.... She was maybe just trying to be positive as no bride wants to be unhappy with her wedding cake!!!
Ready for my analysis? (Emphasis on analysis because I'm an anal-retentive jin! Esp. when it comes to cakes! LOL)
Here goes: 1. Your cake was covered in rolled fondant. Personally I hate the taste of it so I never ever ever cover cakes with it. I have managed to mimic the look of it by smoothing buttercream perfectly. 2. If it was all bumpy that means they used...
Uh...are you sure you want to hear this?
Yeah, well, you've already eaten it so what's the harm? ;-)
2. If it was all bumpy that means they used very old fondant. Fondant that had gone dry and hard and they tried to roll it out anyway. Hence, the powder everywhere... 3. They had trouble rolling out the fondant because it was old and had to dust it generously with either powdered sugar or cornstarch.
On the positive side, at least it looked fairly straight! I like the design concept too... just that those colours don't totally jive together.
Ha! The groom asked me if I was going to poke the pins *into* the cake. When I said "NO!" he looked at me strangely. I replied that I never ever ever stick a pin inside of a cake as that could be much too dangerous! LOL!!!
Wow, IMHO that's even nicer than Elvis and Priscilla's Wedding Cake! Plus I'm sure it's tastier, because the King probably insisted on peanut butter and bananas in his cake.
Well, us veggies can still let bearskin keep us warm as long as the bear is still wearing it, right?! ;-) I'll try to send you a randy female bear that's not too big & vicious. :-D
You mean the 'scroll' patterns on the side? That took about 1 hour. I recreated the design they had printed on their invitations. I piped it freehand right onto the cake with the pink frosting. I work pretty fast! ;-)))
Some of you know me as Jennifer Pasquill from the 17 year run at my brick and mortar, Uniquely Yours Pastry Shoppe in Wisconsin, and some of you know me as jin from my popular pastry blog, Jintrinsique. Maybe, just maybe, you don't know me at all... maybe you're just here for the foodporn and that's cool in my book. ;-)

Thanks for sharing the pic tho! :-)
Does the top pop off???
that cake is far too pretty to eat
exactly! ditto what east village said.
foam
I'll bet the rhinestones add some real crunch!! Did Jewels make the pins???
TICH!!!!
Wow! Thought you'd already hibernated for the winter!
(Or your guest tired you out!!! ;-)
Yes, the top pops off and out pops...
;-)
evi:
Ohhhh..... I don't think you'd have said that if you were standing in front of it while they were cutting it!!!
;-)
foam:
Heehee!!!
Thanks!!!
But you wouldn't pass up a piece, now would you?!

Now I'm REALLY excited about my Pug cookie!
Well it looks like one of 'those' cakes!
Yes, I'm in hibernation mode, so if yer know any bears, tell em to come keep me warm! :)
So lovely...how does one stick a knife into this... but then it would taste as good as it looks so that would be a big incentive.
squealing with delight
i love it! its exquisite!
Oh, I see, that's how it is!
BTW, you're looking beautiful today.
puerileuwaite:
Deep fried p.b. & banana filling. Ewwww!
;-)
Ahhh.... I've yet to enjoy more blogger love... ohhhh and do I ever need me some more of that!
;-)
Take comfort in knowing I have downloaded the image of the pug, ready & waiting for my dainty fingers to work magick on his bone.

That is half of the fun to me! Watching it be destroyed & consumed! Unfortunately I rarely get to witness that!
:-)

You are a sweetie.
Might I add that:
You are also highly intelligent.

:-D
It must have given much work to make these drawings
SO the ground glass between the layers is probably out of there too, eh?

I have had people ask me to use actual champagne glasses between the cake tiers.
I

"Hello... is there anyone in there?"

'Course I don't really say that.....
