"fruitcake!?!"

"fruitcake!?!" on Cake Central

Fondant covered cakes. Marzipan vines & leaves. Each fruit was hand made from coconut macaroons covered with a thin "skin" of marzipan. Painted each pear & orange with thinned out paste colors. Topped with a whole clove "stem". The design was based on a cake of Gady's as featured in the JC Penney's recent bridal campaign. The reception site was decorated with real pears & oranges, so it all tied in nicely to the whole theme.

Thanks! I thought that using store bought macaroons as the "basic" shape for the fruit would not only cut down on the cost, but would taste better too. ... Had to eat one to "test" it ;)
