Our cake decorating fundraiser at Sundays Garden Festival was a huge success! We raised $350 for St. Vincent De Paul's soup kitchen in Germantown. Mayoral candidate Michael Nutter along with tv personalities Larry Mendte, Dawn Stensland, Dawn Timmeney and Anita Brikman each decorated a cake that was auctioned off to the highest bidders. Winners were Barbra Shivy(2 cakes!), Ed Berg, Lyles Perkins and Laura Reale. Thank you all for your generosity!
WEDDING CAKE TIPS AND TRENDS
The hottest theme in wedding cakes? Color!
CHESTNUT HILL, PA -Color is in, according to Pastry Chef Alex Kujawa of the Night Kitchen Bakery. From ruby red to bright yellow, wedding cakes are getting creative this year, thanks to fondant icing, which allows for exact color matching and endless creativity.
"Colors we may have never seen before, such as oranges and tropical tones, are being used this year, which makes for some really unusual and beautiful cakes," says Kujawa. "Brides are willing to pay extra to match their events perfectly. They want the invitations and room to match the cake, and with fondant icing we can do that."
What else is in this fall? According to Kujawa, for those brides who want a more traditional ivory or white cake, some are turning to colorful accents or bows to provide color while still keep the "traditional" wedding cake look.
And finally, don't forget the chocolate! More brides and grooms are going for chocolate cake and icing-many alternating layers of mocha and yellow cake to give their guests a choice of cake slices. Some brides and grooms are going all out, however, fulfilling their chocolate fantasies with chocolate mousse-filled cake topped with chocolate buttercream or fondant icing.
