Yes a wedding cake should be as custom and unique as the couple. This also applies to the flavor. I really enjoy making the cake’s flavor custom to the couple as well. For Jennifer and Mani’s Palais Royale Ballroom wedding , we went with a “Grasshopper” cake. What is a Grasshopper? Well it’s a shout out to a classic drink : Chocolate cake with a hint of Creme de Cacao, Creme de menthe buttercream and layered with Belgian chocolate ganache. An additional plus for this cake is when cutting into the cake it matched their color scheme for their wedding decor. It’s those little details that really show that a lot of thought was put into the wedding cake.
As far as the design, I was inspired by this hip couple’s invitations and as well as their theme. They went with an eco chic inspired wedding decor designed and planned by Savoir Flare. The climbing chocolate branches with sugar magnolias and little hummingbirds were incorporated from the invitations and the cake’s unique shape chosen by the couple. Believe it or not, this is just a sneak peak for this wedding’s sweet touch. Looking forward to sharing the the cake with the sweet table of cupcakes , meringues and Persian pastries soon.
Thank you to Jennifer and Mani! Though it rained on your wedding day, everything looked stunning. Congrats again.
