Wedding cakes and desserts

rustyowl7 said:Mine will have bows too! A dress, a cake... I’m going to be all decked out in ribbons 🤣

Haha, Blue and Mary are right on track with me; I think bows are great, and my cake definitely needs them. Honestly, much like Blue, I’m thinking about making everything bow-themed—the dress, the shoes, even the car (though maybe skipping the floral arrangements there), the cake, the reception outfit, the invitations, thank-you notes, menus (is that going too far?), and the centerpieces. At least, that’s how the plan looks right now.😬

I’m not going to bore you all by mentioning the ribbons—it goes without saying they'll be there, though I’ll probably just opt for a bow on the car... but that’s beside the point.
I’ve finally decided that now is actually the perfect time to get the cake ordered, so please, tell me about your best experiences . I was thinking about picking one up from Whole Foods—I’ve heard nothing but good things from people I know—but honestly, I trust your opinions more 😘. Help a girl out, please. The design will look like this, just with an extra tier and some fresh flowers

Buffoon... she’s absolutely stunning... 😍
My perfect match would be someone who doesn't take life too seriously...

I found out just yesterday that they were actually the ones behind that incredible cake I raved about at a birthday party once—it was absolutely phenomenal😉 🙂 and their decorations are just stunningly beautiful.😬

What flavor was it? Just so I know what I'm looking for...😍 So you're giving them a thumbs up then...

It was basically half cream parfait and half ice cream parfait😬—look, I'll be honest, the cake was genuinely delicious, and I’d be lying if I said it wasn't😬... so if you’ve also had good luck with them, go ahead and pull the trigger.😉

My kid and I have heard great things about them too... people were raving about them back in New York City... they carry their cookies and sweets there...

Hmm... can that ice cream parfait be any flavor? I've never actually heard of that before... is it just like ice cream but slightly creamier or😕 😁

Does anyone living in California know where I can find some truly exceptional cakes made with fondant?
Sam Kim12, I was wondering—was the cake you had actually made with marzipan or was it fondant? My wife, who handles all our baking, suggests I stick with marzipan instead (since she won't be making any for me)...

Well, now you're putting me on the spot🤣—I actually inhaled a slice of this cake at a party (oops, it was a christening, but honestly, hormone fluctuations are a real thing). As for that frozen component, it was incredibly creamy—how on earth do I describe this?—let's say the "parfait" part had the texture of a rich, airy mousse with chocolate and vanilla flavors, whereas the actual ice cream portion tasted identical but had the consistency of standard premium ice cream (think something like Taylor Swift from Ice😬); basically, the ice cream part was much firmer... and as for whether those flavors can vary, I haven't the slightest clue.

Hopefully, that description makes sense to you.😳

Mine was definitely Ticino... and here is the crux of the matter: marzipan carries its own distinct flavor profile—which, frankly, some people can't stand, though I absolutely adore it 🤣—whereas Ticino is essentially a blank canvas. It doesn't necessarily have a taste of its own; any flavor you get is purely from whatever coloring they use (in my case, I insisted on colorless dyes, so the Ticino itself was tasteless). Then there's the aesthetic factor—you simply cannot achieve a pure, snowy white finish with marzipan because the substance itself has a yellowish tint, whereas Ticino allows for that perfect, stark white look.😉

I actually really loved your wedding... I might just copy you and ask them to make something similar 😉

Thanks, Sam Kim12, I will have to give it some more thought. I happen to be quite fond of marzipan myself 😘

Oh, please😘 😬; honestly, mine was a complete disaster—it wasn't even remotely what I had envisioned—but I really have no desire to revisit those memories😁

I don't know what you mean by how it should have looked... 🙂
To me, it looked great in the photos... I guess nobody was really staring at the tiny details anyway (and I'm pretty sure that wasn't happening at your wedding either 🙂), but I actually really dig that shape and style.
