Hi Stephanie, I just wanted to thank you again for
the amazing cake that you made for our wedding day!
I’ve attached a photo with the cake topper if you
want to add them to your website. My aunt was so
impressed, she said it was the best cake that she’s
ever had at a wedding and she goes to a LOT of
weddings. She’s going to be referring you from now
on! J

| How to successfully store the top tier of wedding cake. |

Storing The Top Tier Of Wedding Cakes
The sweet tradition of celebrating your 1st
anniversary by sharing the top tier of your
wedding cake could turn sour if the cake isn't
stored properly. No matter how fresh your romance
remains, a stale cake is no way to remember that
perfect wedding day. Just follow these simple tips
to keep your cake as moist and delicious as
possible.
First, remove any ornaments or large breakable
decorations. You may choose to leave certain
smaller icing decorations on the cake to retain
the charm of your original design. If the cake is
resting on an unwrapped cake board, replace the
board with one wrapped in foil. This will prevent
a cardboard taste from seeping into the cake. If
the cake is resting on a plastic separator plate,
it's fine to leave that on when freezing. Next,
place the cake in the freezer for about 20
minutes. This will firm up the icing and prevent
it from adhering to the wrap.
Now you're ready to wrap the cake. Completely
cover the cake with plastic wrap, making sure to
wrap airtight. Follow by wrapping with at least 2
layers of heavy duty aluminum foil. The more
protection you give the cake, the less chance of
freezer taste or freezer burn. If desired, you can
also place the cake in a storage container.
One day before your 1st anniversary, begin
defrosting the cake in your refrigerator. After
about 2 hours, remove the cake from its wrapping
and continue to defrost. Just before serving, let
the cake rest at room temperature.

This was my first chocolate fondant 3 tier cake,
and it turned out great. They requested the
botton 2 tiers be fake, and planned on cutting
the top cake for pictures. Then I made sheet
cakes that were cut and served to their guests.
They wanted the wedding cake to have the look of
fondant for pics, but they wanted the cake and
icing to taste great for their guests.

This was a beautiful wedding site at the
Butterfly House in Chesterfield, MO. Julie
wanted a 3 tier stacked cake with alternating
shapes. She chose chocolate cake with fudge
filling, and white cake with fudge filling.
Thank goodness she was using buttercream icing
which usually holds up pretty good in the heat
with it being a July Wedding!

| Weiss Birthday Party Cake |

She wanted a birthday cake with a roller skate on
it for her son's 10th birthday party. So I made
a chocolate cake and etched out the cake design
to make it stand out more. I also wanted the
wheels to stand out from the cake so I used a
large marshmellow for the wheels.
