This wedding reception took place on the largest of the St. Croix riverboats, The Majestic Star. The interior of this tri-level yacht consists of a lobby/lounge area, dining room, and then a partially open-air roof complete with a bar (yes, Nick and I were snooping). Besides looking out the windows, it doesn't feel like you're on a boat!
When bride Billie and her fiance Jake came for their tasting appointment, they definitely wanted centerpiece cakes in their chosen color scheme of ivory and champagne. Billie's bouquet would be red, but they weren't using the color much else. For every tasting we do at Fresh Fields, I create mini cakes in the flavors the couple has requested and decorate them however I feel that day. When I brought out Billie and Jake's cakes, they loved the piping on them so much, they decided right there that's what they wanted!
Each table had a 6" Amaretto cake, with an ivory base and champagne piping. Some had bubbling dots, swirls, swags, the squiggle pattern seen on the head, two-tier cake (I can never remember what that technique is called?!) and Fleur de Lis by request of the bride. I love how the single red flower on the two tier pops, keeping the look fresh and modern.
Many, many thanks to Jeremiah of J. Satterthwaite Photography for sharing his photos of the cakes, otherwise I would have never been able to see the tables completed with the gilded frames and rose petals (everything was bare when we delivered). These dreamy closeups look good enough to eat!
Congratulations to Billie and Jake!
xoxo,
Rachel
