Marzipan Wedding Cake with Fuschia Ribbon
A bride has been dreaming about this special day for years. Some have bride books. Others bring an array of wedding cake photos from the internet and magazines to show at their initial meeting. For the past few years, a popular trend has been to wrap the cake in ribbon. At this point, the bride has her colors selected for her wedding theme and she will usually drop off the ribbon at my bakery before the big day. After the cake is made, enrobed in marzipan in this case, a minor challenge is “gluing” on the ribbon. In the magazines, it really doesn’t matter how they get the ribbon to stay because nobody is going to eat the cake and more than likely the cake is just decorated styrofoam for the photo shoot. Well here is my secret. Are you ready? I use corn syrup to stick the ribbon to the cake. It works quite well. Try it at home!
