Let Them Eat Cake: Fantasy Wedding Cake Competition

This year The Cake Boutique participated in The Let Them Eat Cake Competition held at The Double Tree Hotel in Philadelphia. This event helped raise money for the City of Hope Organization, which is a leading research and treatment center for cancer, diabetes and other life-threatening diseases. A cake like this takes a lot of time planning, labor, hard work, and love! We were given the broad topic of Fantasy Wedding cakes.  We took a few weeks to brainstorm ideas and settled on the concept of a couple dreaming of their fantasy wedding cake. Once we had a concept we began an inspiration board full of cakes, decorations, colors and ideas that inspired us. Next up was to choose our cake flavor and filling. We achieved this by having every member of our staff choose a flavor option and we all voted for our favorite. Then the hard work began! We shaped a hill with a tree and clouds as well as made a three tier wedding cake. We covered them with fondant, stacked and supported the cakes. Then came lots and lots of details! After, hours of hard work our piece was competition ready! Check out photos of how this cake came to be and if you want to see our cake in person, stop in at The Cake Boutique!

We had a great experience at the competition and the crowd was very receptive to our cake and flavors! We were proud to help raise money for City of Hope and can't wait to see what next years topic will be!
