Wedding Cake at The Grand America

Mousse Filling for Wedding Cake
Brides who choose to have their wedding reception at the Grand America want a beautiful, elegant cake that fits into the five star surroundings. I started making this wedding cake with the freshest ingredients: whipping cream, belgian white chocolate and strawberries for the filling.
Strawberries in Wedding Cake
The cake is a three tier round pistachio almond cake. I use rings to layer the cakes and help the mousse set into the desired shape in the fridge. They come in a variety of sizes – I used 6 , 10 and 14 inches. After the white chocolate mousse sets in the fridge, I take the cake out of the rings and use buttercream to “glue” the marzipan onto the wedding cake.
Elegant Ribbon on Wedding Cake
I hand score the marzipan and add little edible sugar pearls onto the wedding cake. The cream ribbon is the final touch before heading to the Grand America. Note to brides – don’t bring wired ribbon to your pastry chef. It is very difficult to use! This ribbon was perfect though.
Delivering Wedding Cake
My bakery is about 5 minutes away from the Grand America but I always make sure the “cake limo” is super chilled with air conditioning blasting during the hot summer’s months here in Utah. After I arrive at the hotel, I put the cake on the hands on wedding planner Sam Do so she can finish the cake with beautiful fresh roses.
