Wedding Bliss



First Wedding cake made

 A little over a year ago I got married, here in Iqaluit. With the limited resources Iqaluit has to offer in almost everything, cakes are no exceptions. I decided to make my own cake, and three tier, buttercream massive cake. This cake was made to feed 60 people, while we had tonnes of leftovers! I was very lucky to have a supportive sister whom finished off the decorating touches the day of the wedding.



Pretty in Pink wedding

 A few months ago, my family and I traveled to Igloolik to make a cake for our cousin's wedding. It was a beautiful 4 tiered pink heart-shaped cake. We had gorgeous white roses covering the cake.
And most recently, a few weeks ago we were hired to do a 4 tiered, red velvet, white fondant wedding cake.  All this has been very exciting since creating wedding cakes is a very different process than making birthday cakes or special event cakes.
Larger tall cakes need reinforcements and support throughout the cake. Each cake must be leveled perfectely to ensure a straight and leveled cake. Often a major issue we encounter is storing the cake until the big moment, these large cakes can't fit into the regular fridges without a very tight squeeze. Also finding a sturdy base fro the cake offer cause headaches, especially during winter when my husband isn't able to rummage through constructionsites so freely.
Much of the rewards and excitemnt is seeing the reactions and smiles these cakes make to the guests, groom and mostly importantly, the bride :)
