One of my very dear friends (my "Good Goon") married his sweetheart on February 16th. As our gift to them, we offered to make their wedding cake. The event had a Valentine theme and approximately 50 people were expected to attend.The heart-shaped cake was French Vanilla in flavor and torted with white chocolate pudding. The icing was white in color and very lightly flavored with buttercream-mint. In the center, a white chocolate "jewelry box" held roses and the entire cake was lightly "dusted" with an edible white glitter that sparked nicely under the lights.
I must (immodestly) say that I was quite happy with the results. Perhaps one always produces special cakes when making them for special people. I have decorated cakes for over 30 years and interestingly enough, it is one of the very few artistic projects with which I can go from original concept to constructing the final project with my hands. Its like sculpting. I call it my "therapy." Enjoy!
