My godson, Wade is getting married to his childhood sweetheart Rachel. They are such a cute couple and I am very excited for them. The first time I saw the two of them together I knew they would make a perfect match. Rachel’s calm and serene demeanor compliments Wades animated and gregarious personality. I’m looking forward to the wedding and seeing the two of them build a life together.
The plans for the wedding are coming together and we just finished throwing Rachel a bridal shower. Since they have chosen yellow and blue for their wedding colors, I decided to go with those colors for the bridal shower cake.
I made a vanilla butter cake with lemon curd filling and carved it in an hourglass shape. I covered the cake in my white chocolate/marshmallow fondant and decorated it to look like a corset. I put pleats around the bodice of the cake and ruffles on the bottom tier. I finished the cake with a bunch of fondant ribbon roses and a few fondant leaves.
When I sat back and looked at the cake, I realized the hourglass shape that I thought would be appropriate, made the figure look a bit too hippy. In order to break the lines up a bit and detract from the heavier hips, I placed some flowers at the bottom of the hourglass. It was a fun cake to make but if I do another corset cake I will shape the bottom of the bodice with less curve to make it look slimmer.
It’s gorgeous…don’t change anything!
Thank you so much, that is so kind of you.
Wow! What a creative baker! I’m sure this cake was a special addition to the shower.
Thanks Jodi, theres nothing like a shower to bring a bunch of friends together 🙂
