Emily & Steve~October 10, 2010

Emily has worked with Megan at ClipperMagazine for many years. We where so happy to be asked to create her and Stave's wedding cake.

Invitation Design

Sample of Center Piece

We did not create a formal sketch for this cake. Emily & Steve meet with us for their tasting and design consultation. During the meeting we decided to use their invitations and center pieces as the inspiration.

We decided to make the cattails 3D and keep the rest of the design flat and graphic.

The cattails are chocolate cake that has been pressed into the shape of a cattail and dipped into milk chocolate. To give the cattail the right texture they were rolled in a fine grain sugar. The leaves of the cattails are made from gum-paste.

The cake topper is two love birds with their necks wrapped around each other. The topper is 100% edible. It is made of rice cereal treat and modeling chocolate.

We had made some extra cattails just in-case some broke. After putting the cake together we knew we would not be needing the extras for the cake. We decided that it would compliment the look of the cake to make two bouquets of the cattails to place on the table with the cake. They were the finishing touch to the table.

The cake was the grooms favorite, chocolate cake with peanut butter filling.

It was a great pleasure to create such an original and one of a kind wedding cake for two very special people. Emily and Steve we wish you the best of luck in you marriage. All of the pictures were taken by Jason, a friend of the bride.
