Cristina Buffone’s Brush Embroidery Wedding Cake

Saturday, April 10th was an exciting weekend at Kathy and Company.  Julie delivered cakes to Woodburn Plantation and Westin Poinsett while Kathy headed to Atlanta to deliver Cristina Buffone’s wedding and groom’s cake.   Cristina’s cake was a brush embroidery design to match her wedding dress on dark kahlua fondant which actually looked like a milk chocolate fondant.  The cake was topped with Kathy’s life-size gumpaste roses in pink.  Jaclyn Showalter, Catering Director for the Grand Hyatt, relayed their head executive chef’s comments about my wedding cake  to me which made my day, week, month etc!  He told Jaclyn that my cake was perfect.  She asked him exactly what he meant because she has never heard him say that about a cake.  He said the fondant is smooth with no bubbles or indentions and the brush embroidery is done freehanded rather than being marked with a pattern and piped over.  He commented that it probably took me between 8 and 10 hours to pipe the 5 tier cake (and he is exactly right, I spent 8 1/2 hours  just on the design).  And, he said the gumpaste roses are phenomenal!  (Thank you Diana Tornow, fellow SC ICES member,  for hints on making perfect gumpaste roses.)  Even though I could see my flaws, the chef’s comments certainly made the entire trip to Atlanta worthwhile for me.  And, thanks Domenick Buffone for the room with the wonderful 19th floor view of Buckhead.  (Domenick, Cristina’s dad is the manager of the Greenville Hyatt.)  Check out our pictures.

Glenda Timmerman ordered this cake for her son’s rehearsal dinner at the Greenville Hyatt.  I had just returned from Bronwen Weber’s “Sculpting Faces” class in Chicago and couldn’t wait to put what I had learned into practice.  Just received an email from Glenda telling us how much they loved the cake.

What fun I had making this cake!  Purple is not my favorite color to work with (although it is my favorite color).  Sometimes the color fades or changes from blue to washed out lavender even greys, but we used Satin Ice black and purple to make the exact shade our bride wanted and it didn’t fade at all.  I used purple edible rhinestones in the black piping which was done with  piping gel.   I love piping and so glad that it is popular again.
