I met with Jennifer and Sandeep this past summer to come up with a design for their wedding cake. Sandeep's family came from India and he and Jennifer were incorporating Indian traditions into their planning. They would be having an Indian wedding ceremony on Friday with Jennifer dressed in a traditional Sari which for weddings are always red. They then planned a traditional American ceremony and were to be married in the Old Laurelhurst Church on Saturday with their reception to follow at the World Trade Center.
They wanted a cake that would capture the best of both their traditions and this is what we came up with. A five-tiered white fondant cake with each tier wrapped in it's own Sari style design. The red fondant was embossed with a design, was applied to the cake, and each wrap was hand painted with edible gold. After the tiers were painted gold beads were applied. The cake was setup in the beautiful World Trade Center and served with platters of Indian sweets.
Congratulations Jennifer and Sandeep, what a lovely way to bring the best of both backgrounds to the start of your life together....and isn't that what weddings are all about!
