The Van Gogh Inspired Wedding Cake Revealed

The Van Gogh Inspired Wedding Cake Revealed

When we left off yesterday, we had some final details which, Joey and Vinny were not happy with concerning the cake design. Although the general design concept of the cake was approved, some of the details, in particular, the color and size of the flowers created some debate. The cake did not have the feel of the muse- The Van Gogh Cherry Blossom painting. When looking at the painting, shades of blue and white were intermingled with different sized flowers. The decision was made to have different size cherry blossoms and have the additional colors of blue and white as well as the yellow.

White and blue flowers were rushed delivered this morning just in time for Nick to start the decorating process.The branches are created by piping icing onto the cake, which has a great look against the pale blue background. The cherry blossoms are then placed on the cake. It took the decorating room two hours to finish the cake for Joey and Vinny's final approval.

The final verdict...Joey and Vinny were not happy with the bottom of the cake. Joey pulled up the Van Gogh painting and it was agreed more needed to be done. The cake was brought back to the decorating table. They are now on a time crunch to get this cake right! With two hours left until the cake had to be on the truck, the decorators got to work and added more flowers to the bottom of the cake. There was no room for error. An hour and a half later the final product was rolled into the refrigerator to chill before transport. Everyone was happy, even the customers that came through the bakery on a tour could not believe how beautiful the cake was. What do you think?


Congratulations to Grace and Kristian, the bride and groom... We hope they have a wonderful life together and a beautiful day!
