Elegance with Eggplant and Sage – Wedding Cake – Monterey, CA
Kandia and Doug are the first destination wedding couple that I have had the pleasure of creating a wedding cake for. They had their wedding at The Clement, which is the newest hotel on Cannery Row. And it’s B-E-A-U-tiful.
Kandia wanted her cake to incorporate the colors eggplant and sage. We ended up combining three different cakes she had sent into one beautiful creation. To raise the cake to appear taller, we put clear vases filled with flower petals. Kandia and Doug had wanted a unique cake topper to depict their little family, and loved the idea of having figurine’s made in their images. White sugar beads were used as Kandia’s pearl necklace, wedding ring and earrings. Their cake flavors included red velvet with a cheesecake center and thin layer of cream cheese icing and chocolate espresso cake with espresso mousse filling. The cakes were covered with an ivory fondant and enhanced with ribbon and fondant embellishments. The beading around the cake was done with white sugar beads.
It was such a pleasure getting to know this darling couple via long distance, and I’m so happy for them!
Congratulations Kandia and Doug!
