We delivered this wedding cake to the Hunter Museum in Chattanooga Tennessee this weekend. I had such a great time making this cake. This is certainly not your typical wedding cake, but the couple really wanted a colorful art deco cake.
I had not done an art deco cake before, and I really wasn't super familiar with the style, so I hit up Pinterest and starting doing some research. When I met with the bride, she immediately fell in love with a cake I found on CakeWrecks that was similar to this one. (Baker Unknown). We did change things up quite a bit though, and the bride had these koi fish that she wanted to incorporate into the cake.
The cake was covered in butter cream, and all decorations were made from modeling chocolate. Well, except for the koi fish; they were printed on edible image paper.
Is this art deco style a trend now? Have any of you bakers done any art deco cakes lately?
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great week!
