This day was another day that I was involved with someone's wedding cake. I prepared the wedding orders. Information on the order is the client’s name, date of wedding, location of wedding, number of servings, size of cake, flavor of cake, type of icing, decoration, and day of pickup/time of delivery. What I had to do is gather or make everything for the order that isn’t food related like the drum (cake board), the invisible pillars which hold up the tiers of cake, the plates which is the base of the layered cakes, the topper which is a figurine of the bride and groom placed on top of the cake, and any other decorations involved like ribbons. The drum is used specifically for wedding cakes because they are thicker and, therefore, sturdier. It is three times as thick as a cake board. The invisible pillars are “invisible” because the three pillars are placed inside the cake like the corners of a triangle. The plates are plastic cake boards are placed in between tiers. For example, if a cake has three tiers, the order from bottom to top would be: drum, large cake with three invisible pillars, plate, medium cake with three invisible pillars, plate, small cake, topper.
When I was done with the wedding cake orders, I covered pretzel rods in chocolate.
