SP Lesson 9: Wedding Cake Demo

In Superior Pastry Lesson 9, we saw Chef N demonstrate how to make a wedding cake, but we did not have to make a wedding cake in our practical, because we used that time for our sugar showpiece exam, which I've mentioned in an earlier post.

Chef N showed us the techniques for covering a wedding cake and some of the tools we could use for doing that. He also showed us examples of what we could use to decorate the cake. Here's the one he made:

The two hearts on top of the wedding cake are made with blown sugar.


It is certainly an unusual-looking cake... I'm glad Chef chose to show us something different from the usual form of wedding cake.
