I have been absent for a couple of months, the wedding event I was planning and detailing took much of my time. You can follow the event from start to finish at:

But for now I will give you some of the details of Kinmies cake.
THE CAKE
With the successful cake tasting now complete, we knew the hard work was just beginning.
My daughters are both proficient in wedding cake design and creation and I was very glad to have them take over the task of actually baking, filling and frosting the cakes. Each layer was to be a different texture of frosting.
Chef Darcy of Silver Spoon Cakes of Salt Lake City and Summer Heather Lakey of Salem, Oregon are my talented daughters whom got roped into creating this one-of-a-kind wedding cake.
Five separate layers. Each layer also has three separate layers filled with a mousse filling.

The largest bottom layer is a 16" round, 8" tall chocolate cake with a cream chocolate mousse filling. The buttercream frosting was also chocolate covered with silver and gray dragees.
You can see how I built this cake stand at:
With the top layer being almost forty-five inches off the floor, I needed a ladder to start placing fresh flowers on the cake. My heart stopped several times as the cake swayed...But it held firm.
Now it was up to me to finish with a walk-in cooler full of fresh flowers. And our bride was willing to help.
From the planning to the actual evening event, this went as flawless as I could dream.
Enjoyed the project?

Sue on Aug 13, 2015Gorgeous cake !! I'm a retired cake/cookie decorator, owned my own in-home business over 20 years, and always dreaded doing tall stacked tiers. This is just beautiful.
