People always comment that we have such fun jobs at The Icing… they are really right! We all love what we do, but sometimes a cake comes along that is truly a collaboration amongst the entire art team and really cool to look at, too.
A few weeks ago we definitely had one of those cakes! When Melissa C. came to us for her wedding cake we were really honored to be a part of her special day at Stevenson Ridge… then we started planning the groom’s cake.
It was awesome! She wanted a fish tank. Of course anyone can make a fish tank, but we wanted to take the cake up a notch so we decided to make the surrounding “glass” out of poured sugar.
The first pour didn’t work out quite so well. We addressed a few issues and tried again. SUCCESS! Chris did a great job with the sugar, but with such amazing “glass” how could we make the inside awesome, too?
Lori airbrushed the cake to give the blue & green some depth and dimension. Then, she piped the flora on the bottom of the tank. The true artistry came in with the fish. She hand painted it and all I can say is, “WOW.”
Take a look at the cake and tell us what you think!
