Monogram Wedding Cake
This 7", 10", 13", 16" square wedding cake was entirely done in red velvet cake with creme cheese frosting. The bride's colors were off white, white, and deep red. In order to enhance the effect, I used a white dotted swiss accents and borders on the off white creme cheese icing. The roses were place between the layers to hide the pillars. I do not usually work in creme cheese for wedding cakes, but after experimenting with my recipes I finally found the right combination for stability.
BEAUTIFUL!!!
That turned out lovely! Care to share your combination for cream cheese icing for decorating? :)
Looks gorgeous!
The cream cheese icing is 2c. buter Crisco, 2-8oz. cream cheese, 1/4c. milk, 1/2c. flour, 1t. vanilla, 1t.butter flavor, 4lbs.powdered sugar. Mix on high in a heavy duty stand mixer for 10 mins. Adjust thickness due to humidity and climate with flour.
What an elegant cake. I am going to try your recipe. I need a stable cream cheese icing too! Thanks!!
beautiful cake are the roses silk or gum paste?
The roses are silk. I was very impressed with the quality of them. They looked real!!
whereid you get the roses from I have to make a cake using the same colors and trying to get the roses the right color is driving me crazy.
the top deco came from www.ballarddesigns.com and the roses were from the florist. I will check for her supplier and try to get back with you.
Are these push in pillars and if so, what size? Really pretty wedding cake!
Yes, they are the 7" hidden pillars. I think they are by Wilton. They are hollow white plastic pillars that go all the way through each individual cake to its bottom board. They fit securely over the posts on the bottom of most cake plates. You don't have the slipage problem that you do with dowels, but you probably loose a serving per pillar due to there size.
