Edric & Xuezhen’s Pancake Stack

August 8, 2015December 8, 2015 EthelLeave a comment

I asked them, “Why a pancake stack?”

Well cake is too heavy for a morning solemnization so a pancake stack it is!

This fluffy stack of pancakes is filled with vanilla creme patisserie and dark chocolate ganache. We made a strawberry and raspberry compote and filled a jar with honey to place on the side for guests to take however much they want. I personally like to drench my pancakes with syrup, but that’s just me!

Deciding on the colors for the couple usually isn’t the easiest task. Everything that you can find on the net is usually pretty much a carbon copy of each other.

I really enjoy creating cakes with whatever I have and with whatever is in season! Many people don’t realize that depending on where you are, what season it is, whether it’s a busy holiday, will give you different flowers. The best possible way to work around this is to choose a colour scheme and not the type of flower, unless you’re willing to pay an exorbitant amount for choice.

That’s the pancake stack! Congratulations to the lovely couple again!

Marie & Jonathan’s Wedding Cake

3 of my favourite things (if the rustic style can be considered as a “thing”) are probably, Rusticity, Roses and Raspberries. I especially adore dried roses and I absolutely would not know a world without them now.

This cake was created with Marie, the lovely bride. They had a ceramic cake topper which was assembled on-site which is why the top was left empty (although I kind of like it this way).

The cake layers are flavoured with earl grey tea and lemon and the cream is mildly scented with lavender. Too much lavender renders its flavour to be soapy. I love how the upward strokes of the cream lends it a really rustic look.

Pink & White Wedding Cake for Pei Ying & Jia Hong

This cake is so gorgeous that we need to give it its own post!

The lovely bride decided on a simple pink and white cake that we spruced up with trimmings of pistachios painted gold and some lush deep greens. We were so fortunate on the day that the flowers were purchased, there were these beautiful soft pink and white eustomas that we just knew the cake had to have because these flowers really reminded us of how elegant and soft spoken Pei Ying is, and thankfully fit the decor of the banquet hall too! Oh, and also, the cake is filled with a deliciously moist red velvet cake, vanilla cream cheese and raspberries wedged in between and covered in my favourite trusty old buttercream.
