The groom's cake
This week I attempted my first groom's cake. A groom's cake is a comical cake displayed at the wedding reception. The bride and groom chose this funny scene where the bride is upset because the groom has passed out drunk post wedding festivities.
This cake was very entertaining and fun to make. While fun, this is one of the hardest cakes I have done. I don't have much experience moulding figures or creating furniture.
The cake is a plain sponge with vanilla icing. Everything has been created out of fondant and cake, the only part of the cake that isn't edible is a cardboard support for the bed board.
I hope the bride and groom enjoyed the laughs the cake hopefully found!
- time to make: 16 hours
- favourite part: the groom
- biggest challenge: moulding figures, perfection required for edgings and furniture
