Two Groom's Cakes

Groom's cakes, whether served at a rehearsal dinner or the wedding reception, are typically pure fun.  This first cake was to resemble a Chris Craft boat with the groom's beloved bulldog in the driver's seat.  I imprinted the the outlines of the wood by hand and then "varnished" each one using a mixture of food coloring and simple syrup.  The windshield is a sheet of gelatin I cut to size.  I'm waiting for professional shots of the wedding cake before posting it on here.  The ceremony and reception were held at the White Bear Yacht Club on White Bear Lake in Dellwood, MN (about 20 minutes from the bakery).  You are in for a treat with this adorable nautical themed wedding!  Take a sneak peak at the photographer's website/blog, http://katebotwinskiblog.com.  The seersucker suits were off the chain! 



Inside, Red Velvet cake with layers of cream cheese icing and vanilla buttercream.


This next cake was for a co-worker's brother, and she knew exactly what she wanted:  A tuxedo cake with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Raphael specifically, poking out of the pocket.  The pink tie and pocket square match the wedding colors, naturally.  Liz let me know the cake was a hit and her brother ate the TMNT :)  This was a lot of fun to work on.  Mr. Scott is also a fan.

Chocolate cake, Bailey's mousse, and chocolate ganache.  Yummmm....
