Draped Fudge Wedding Cake Joseph Smith Building

OMG, I remember this wedding – sweet MeiLani and her husband who broke his arm playing basketball a couple days before the wedding! His face was all scratched up and had stitches in it, we spent so much time retouching it to make him look like he normally does! And I had to laugh as I read what you wrote about smelling the chocolate and not having any left over, because i remember this was a wedding where I didn’t get to sample the cake because there wasn’t any left over, it had all been eaten up!

I’m curious about this particular style, it is always unstacked or do you do a stacked version? If you stack it, how do you stack it without messing up the fudge?

carrieMarch 2, 2010 - 8:44 pm

Seriously! Pepper I had no idea that is what happened to the groom! That is too funny (Or not I guess it depends on how you look at it)

This cake can be stacked for sure, however it takes away from the pretty fudge. And really if you covering the top of the cake is fudge it is more fun to see the WHOLE cake! AND the flowers look so pretty against the chocolate that our brides usually choose to have it completely seperated. We are happy to make it either way!
Thank you for asking!

Nontraditional wedding cake at Solitude

Hey guys… Just a quicky post to show a fun Un-traditional way to display your wedding cake. I love to mix things around and having a cake stand that separates each wedding cake so that you can put gorgeous flowers on each one. This is a FUN and unique way to achieve Un-traditional!

A very trendy color...

The Bride, MachelFebruary 26, 2010 - 2:58 pm

Carrie,
You did an amazing job with the cake- just I what I wanted! Not only was it gorgeous, it was so tasty too! I pulled the idea from BRIDE magazine and just a few months ago I saw the cake on “Cake Boss”- Buddy was making special for the photo shoot.
We had our reception at Willow Creek Country Club, utilizing both the inside and the outside patio/terrace like you mentioned. Our flowers were done by Jerry Rose at Hillside Floral.

Thanks for such a fabulous cake and being a part of our Big Day!

-Machel Devin

I love the idea for the chocolate covered strawberries in the chocolate boxes. I am wondering if this idea could be expanded to a multi-tiered wedding cake!

carrieFebruary 24, 2010 - 12:39 pm

You can definately incorporate the strawberries into the cake. It is really appealing to the eye! I have done a lot of cake with chocolate covered strawberries and everyone lOVES it! Great idea.

Carrie, the cake was wonderful. Of course it looked beautiful, but it tasted absolutely amazing. We had so many comments about how good the cake was. Even the fondant tasted very yummy, which I’ve gathered from my experiences at other weddings, is not usually the case. Thanks for providing such a wonderful element to our wedding day.

carrieMay 3, 2010 - 7:24 pm

HI Nicole, The fondant is a HUGE part of our cake, so we make an EXTRA special effort to make sure it tastes as good as it looks. I am so glad your wedding cake was just what you wanted, at the end of it all THATS OUR GOAL! Best wishes. :0)
