Rustic Wedding cake

Praying for a cooler weather for this wedding. It has been raining the whole week, then suddenly is super hot and humid. Is not an easy thing when the bride requested a Itailan meringue buttercream on her wedding cake. Thank God the day of the wedding it wasn't raining and it wasn't to humid.

This cake is a red velvet cake iced with IMB, with a simple rustic look top with fresh pink and white roses and lisianthus.

I was running so late to deliver this cake and I forgot to bring my camera. Not happy that the only thing I have to take a photo is my mobile phone. The colour of the cream is white, but because of the lighting in the room, the photo makes the IMB looks yellow.

The purple light really make this cake look very simple and elegant .

So excited when making this cake. I can't stop saying .."Mike Wazowski...Mike Wazowski..."
This cake is made for a little boy who is a Big Fan for Monster inc.

Mike's eye is coloured using edible pen. I think she did a fantastic job.

Simply elegant

This cake is just simply elegant.

It was an honor to be asked to make a wedding cake. As most of my friends know how I love wedding cakes. I was asked by the bride to make this simple but yet elegant cake.
I also was asked to make 420 pieces of cakes as a bonbonniere. This amazing marble cake is a recipe from my mom. This cake is so moist, and to make 420 pieces I have used 125 eggs to make 4 large slab cakes.
 

Simple and elegant wedding cake

Summer is not the time to make a cake. Temperature has reach 30 degree Celsiusa and I can see that the fondant is not setting and the filling is not getting harder. Air condition is full blasts and still the temperature in the room is still too warm.

I was in the stage of panic and want to get the cake done and praying that the 2 tiers cake would not melt and cracked. 

This cake is a red velvet cake with cream cheese icing filling. I had a challenging  time making the figurine, to make sure that the construction of the groom carrying the bride will not fall. First attempt the groom back and arms cracked and I have to re- do him 3 time. I'm glad that on the day of the wedding the figurine groom was holding on tight, and the cake is standing well with no dramas of falling or cracking.
