Cake #36 - The Ultimate....4 cake wedding cake

Cake #36 -     THE ULTIMATE.....SHANNON and KASEY'S WEDDING CAKE  - January/February 2025

Not going to share too much as I make it...will reveal after the wedding on 2/13/2025....the day before Valentine's Day. 

But...we will have four cakes....two large 3 layer, Maple with Maple Cinnamon Cream Cheese filling, one medium size with Vanilla Bean and Bavarian Vanilla Cream filling, and the small, with Strawberry cake and Strawberry filling. All will be iced with white buttercream. 

There will be a separate small cake with layers of all 3 flavors for the bride and groom to freeze! 

Here are some samples of the test cakes. The first 4 are the small strawberry one. Ran out of 'test' frosting so it wasn't frosted well...just trying to see what will fit where and whether I can get it really level with some tricks. Meh...pretty good. 

 

 

These were the ones I tested more for the content of the cake. Shannon wanted maple so we had to play around with syrups and flavorings to make sure the maple flavor stood out. After a couple of tries we got it right! 

For this, there were multiple side options...smooth completely, striped, and roses, so the bride (or the baker) could choose. In our case we will be doing each large maple in striped and roses and the vanilla in striped and the small in roses (or vice versa). Haven't decided yet, but the smooth isn't it. Too boring.

 

Pretty comfortable with the top being somewhat 'petaled' vs. smooth. I think it will hold the glitter well.

Tried some gold glitter spray on it and it was horrid. Very yellow looking. So that's a definite "no."

The rosette sides look like this: 

 

 

And the likely finished version (without all the glittler and gold flakes.....)

 

 

Will post the finished product, when.................
