Our M & M Wedding Cake
By martinsadmin | June 20, 2009
We chose to have a destination wedding where my bride Micaela grew up in Nova Scotia, Canada. That meant dealing with a few logistics – like how to transport the wedding cake thousands of miles without it getting smushed. I chose to make a fake wedding cake for display and a real cake for consumption. The fake two tier wedding cake is styrofoam covered in white fondant, sugar flower cherry blossoms, buttercream balls and then dusted with a shimmer powder called petal dust. I put the cake in a box and carried it on the plane.

I made a wedding sheetcake and froze it solid for the journey. The wedding cake did quite well in the styrofoam container and stayed in hotel freezers until the big day. On the wedding day, the kitchen cut and plated the wedding sheetcake. Guests loved the flavor combination of pistachio cake with luscious lemon mousse and blueberries! The mother of the bride especially liked the marzipan and the leftover cake.
