Garth & Tiffany Parke Wedding Cake

This cake for Garth and Tiffany Parke I made and delivered to the beautiful  Wyndham Sea Gardens Resort, Pompano Beach, Florida for a wedding ceremony on the beach and reception across the street at the resort. I never thought this would have been one of my most bespoken cakes because of the sugar orchids and hibiscus cascading down the side of the cake. I think I got carried away with the flowers compared to the picture Garth sent me for inspiration. The couple wanted a yellow cake with American butter cream. I made shells using white chocolate and white candy melts, then dust with pearl luster dust. The final touch on the cake was airbrushing cake with pearlized color to give the dewy and shimmery look.

The lovely couple and mother of the bride were very happy with the result. I met Tiffany in December 2009 when I attended the wedding of her sister Tangella, whose wedding cake I also made and was a big hit too.
