Tuxedo Groom's Cake
This was the groom's cake I made for my step-son's wedding. It was made from 2 heart shaped layers (10"x2") split into 4 layers then filled with European raspberry filling and chocolate mousse (with some Godiva liqueur added), then frosted with chocolate buttercream, then covered in homemade chocolate fondant. The boutonnière is a lavender rose with white baby's breath and green leaves all made from fondant. The tie is painted with edible silver luster dust and the vest is lightly dusted with the same.
Dude. You're good. Darn Good. (Ok, there has been too much south park wathcing in my household lately - i say dude now)
Oh wow! thats so amazing... love it! :D
Since the bride is Chinese, I added a bamboo bottom border to finish it off.
wonderful!
wow, very nice....did you get to do the wedding cake? Did you post that??
My step-son and his fiance did not want me to make their wedding cake but I did make them two sample cakes, both are posted in my photos (white & lavender and a pink/white)
good job... shame they did not want you to make the wedding cake
Good job!!!!
Amazing cake - great detail how did you do the bamboo border?
That is absolutely amazing. I would contract you for the wedding!
That is one of the best tuxedo cakes I have ever seen. Great job.
To do the bamboo, I used bc icing and a #12 tip. You drag the tip toward you steadily for a short distance, then to make the rib you do 3 small push-pull motions, then follow with another straight section. Repeat.
I just love all the detail you did on this... it's so realistic .. Awesome, awesome job!!
Very nice !
Beautiful cake! Sounds yummy too!
Another trick I found works pretty well to help keep the shaped pieces from stretching is to roll the fondant on parchment paper, then place a parchment template on top and cut with a pastry cutter. Then use scissors to cut the parchment underneath close to the fondant. Place the cut piece on a cookie sheet and put in the freezer to make it stiff. When ready to place on cake, turn over and peel the parchment off that was originally on the bottom.
Amazing cake. I love it!
