Patriotic wedding cake

by sugargeek on July 4, 2008

red white and blue wedding cakeThis is an amazing cake, and it comes with an amazing story.  It was made by Whipped Bakeshop, for the real-life wedding of Ben Franklin (Ralph Archibald) and Betsy Ross (Linda Wilde), in Philadelphia, on July 3, 2008.

Here is the creator’s description of the lovely cake:

Top two tiers are chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream, bottom tier is vanilla buttermilk cake with lemon buttercream. White fondant with gingham ribbon trim. Decorations are made of layered paper, pinned to the cake.

All I can say is, “Hooray for the red, white, and blue! Congratulations to the happy couple! And please pass the cake!

Mmmm. Lovely! I’m a cake decorator but only through word of mouth right now. Someday I hope to make an official business of it.
