Tara's Cake

Tara's Cake on Cake Central

This is the cake I made for my son, David's, formal wedding reception in Murry, Utah. A few days later we had a "gathering" in Pocatello, Idaho which featured a smaller cake, and David's groom Spiderman cake.

This was adapted after a cake Tara chose from a reception magazine. She also wanted a fountain, and I wanted it larger, so created six satellite cakes to go around it. Alas, two of the satellites were damaged during transport. I had several sizes of pillars with me, so staggered them instead.

I had to transport it 160 miles, so the main stack is a dummy decorated with royal frosting and fondant ruffles. Each of the satellites was made in a different flavor. I baked them in Pocatello, Idaho, then took them to Ogden, Utah and decorated them at my mother-in-laws house. It was a hot day, and we needed to take everything another 35 miles to the reception center. It was only when we entered the parking lot of the site and hit a speed bump that the damage occured. It served 150 large pieces.
