Sugar Flowers - NJ Wedding Cake Bakery

At our New Jersey bakery we are obsessed with following, if not exceeding, our local health codes especially when it comes to sanitation. Everything used for our cakes is either edible or food safe items (e.g. dowels to support cake tiers, etc....).

I tend to cringe when a client wants to put fresh or silk flowers on a cake. Many fresh flowers are covered in pesticides, some being quite toxic, and most silk flowers are not made with food safe materials.

We always recommend our clients opt for sugarpaste flowers. The first reason for this is we know we are providing a cake that is safe for our clients to consume. The second reason being it is aesthetically pleasing to look at a cake and know everything you see is completely edible!

Policeman Shirt Groom's Cake

http://www.confectionarydesigns.com

The history of the Grooms' cake is not completely known, but many say it started in the southern states and has been quite popular all over the US for several years. Typically the groom's cake is chocolate, but when designing the cake flavors, one should focus on what the groom would like to eat!

We really enjoy making grooms' cakes as they tend to be witty and very personalized, often more so than the wedding cake. When brides come to us to order their groom's cake there is always a lot of idea exchanges and laughter in our design studio because of the countless possibilities. Most often we focus on the groom's background, hobbies, occupation, or something in his life he is expecially proud of. The designs can range from a favorite baseball team to a military honor - anything is game when designing these cakes. Most often the cake is a suprise to the groom and served either at the rehearsal dinner or the bride has it carted out during the wedding reception.

We made the groom's cake shown above for a local police officer. It was ordered by his bride-to-be and she came up with the fun inscription of "Cuffed for Life." My favorite part of this cake is the sugar handcuffs as they came out looking so real - I'm still wondering if the groom and his buddies ate these :)
