County Fair entry: Wedding cake
This is a dummy (styrofoam!) fondant-covered wedding cake made for the San Mateo County Fair. It’s the first time I’ve made a wedding cake for the fair; usually I enter the birthday or holiday categories because they give me a chance to try out designs that are a little quirkier than usual. But now that I’ve taken a gumpaste flower class, I decided to refine the cake I made for class and turn it into a wedding cake. It went over well - good enough for a blue ribbon!
There’s a height limit in the fair rules that makes it hard to do a three-tier wedding cake, but maybe if I did a miniature cake it would fit the rules… hmm…. and I would still like to try a design that’s more in the Art Nouveau style… maybe next year…
