It was my dear classmate’s wedding on 15 September 2013.
Hawaliana Selamat is now a married woman, Alhamdulillah may your marriage leads
you together to the end, InsyaAllah.

I was anxious to be given the honor to create her wedding
cake which the order was made much earlier. After going back and forth, price
and design she finally decided on a 2 tier stacked cakes with separate cake
flavors on each tiers. Bottom tier was Moist Chocolate Cake, and the top tier
was Lemon Pound Cake.

The sizes of the cakes were 12” bottom and 8” top in round
shape. After the cakes were done sandwiched and iced,
they are stacked and secured with enough pillars inside to support the heavy
cake. Both cakes were filled with lemon buttercream and chocolate buttercream respectively and iced with basic crisp white fondant and embossed with quilted effects
all around. Marzipan tool was used to manipulate the fondant to mimic the
pleats and folds at the button points.

The sugar flowers were made ahead of time just to spare all
the last minutes to the cake. the color pallet for the flowers was not decided in specific but the bride said she wants it in pastel colors. The sugar flowers gathered into two sprays one was larger than the other.
The larger flower sprays was put on top and the other was put on the side of
the cake.

Towards the end of constructing and building up the cake, how
I not realize the cake weighed so much that I panic thinking of how to
transport the cake in one piece. But I’ve managed to transport it just fine, Alhamdulillah.
And as it was really late that this cake finished to be transported, only lousy
kitchen lighting been utilized for the pictures hence the darkness in all of
the pictures. Apologies for that~ :-)
