Last weekend Krumbs catered a wedding at the Newcastle town hall. I got to do the wedding cake and cupcakes. Miss E was staying with my parents so I was able to work Friday night and finish Saturday morning without any distractions. Mr T took himself to bed super early on Friday night, so it was just me and P.S. I Love You playing on the TV while I worked away.
The wedding cake was an 8" and 6" tiered vanilla flavoured cake with salted caramel filling. Purple is a really hard colour to do for me in fondant. I really don't understand it. I did see a YouTube video a few days ago that made me feel a lot better. The instructor said purple was really difficult with Americolor gels. She uses Wilton gels for purple. Next, time I will try them out. I was able to get the purple as dark as I could. Couldn't quite get it to match the ribbon exactly. I still how it turned out.
On the way to Newcastle I realised about halfway there I forgot to bring my white cake stand. For once, we were on time and I had to make a pit stop at the Bowmanville Canadian Tire. I knew that they had a Cake Boss line so I hoped that they he had a cake stand. Success! And it's really nice. I was a little freaked when I got outside the store and saw that it was actually off white. When I got to the hall and saw the hurricane lamps for the candles on the crisp white table clothes, I was relieved.
I loved this topper that the bride and groom had made. I added all the flowers around it, then took it off for traveling. Originally I hadn't planned on putting the white pearls in the centres of the flowers. Then I was only going to add it to a few but Mr T thought it would look better if I did it to all 250 of them. This is what I get when I ask his opinion, but he was right.
For the cupcakes I made 12 dozen mini; 4 in lemon with cream cheese icing, 4 in chocolate with chocolate fudge icing and 4 in cookies & cream with buttercream icing. These awesome trays from Dollarama no less were perfect for serving them in. Thanks to Krumbs for lending me the trays. I went out a bought my own set last week.
