One of the most exciting and challenging cakes we have made was a groom’s cake. The bride wanted to knock it out of the park. She provided photos of his Pro-Ject Debut III turntable, ( yes he is an audiophile) the name of his favorite Jazz artist, his favorite football team, and off to the planning table for us ! Spencer was the point man on the working turntable and embedding an MP3 player with the Miles Davis tunes on it. It was a cheesecake covered in fondant with all the buttons, knobs, and a moveable tonearm playing an edible 33LP. The LP was cast in chocolate and the center label was printed onto edible paper. There was a stack of record albums (all of cake), and the New Orleans Saints football of chocolate cake finished out the groom’s surprise. The table had photos of his family and some memorabilia important to him. As the groom approached his table we heard him say “That’s my turntable! “
It was a good day for all.
In the attached video there is a Bulldogs hand bell sitting in front of the cake and the handle is seen projecting up. Neither the hand bell or the photos are edible but everything else is!
