First of all, big congratulations to Shreaya and Pritesh, who got married this weekend. And, thanks for inviting us to such a lovely wedding. The bride and groom looked amazing and so happy:)
For their wedding, I took the biggest job ever in the World of Sweets kitchen... yes, I was in charge of making their weeding cake. Designing the cake, deciding the flavour, baking, assembling and decorating... the whole project was, I must say, one of the most exciting things I've ever done in our kitchen...
When I make a cake for special occasions, I'd like to consider all the elements about the event and put that into the cake so that it's not just "a" cake but "the" cake.
Knowing Shreaya and Pritesh, I thought that the cake should be "5 tier" not "3"(I can't quite explain why but in my head they're not 3 tier cake couple...if you know what I mean...) Since the very first time we discussed about the cake, I knew red roses were the one because it matched their wedding colour theme and also red roses, the symbol of love and passion, I thought that was a perfect choice for them. ;)
To match their Indian style reception, I decorated the cake with henna influenced piping work (I'm not sure if people actually noticed it, but attention to detail is important, right? ;) ).
The cake had alternate layers of red sponge flavoured with rose water and white sponge flavoured with vanilla, of which I was very pleased with the bake:)
So...all in all, my cake mission ended with a great success!
Oh and last but not least, massive thanks to Andy for helping me transport the cake safely to the venue and set it up.
And once more, congratulations to Shreaya and Pritesh.
Have a happy married life together :D
