Ting and Gilbert's Wedding Cake

Quintbelles used to have a photolog but since it was difficult to upload photos, we have stopped using it-- fortunately after Tere chanced upon our site. After several messages and emails exchanged, Ting and Gilbert (her friends!) confirmed their order for their wedding on Feb 2007. The wedding ceremony and reception was held in Tagaytay. The photo above was sent out as their wedding invitation. The couple explained that they are inviting their friends and family to travel with them (the Fairy Couple leading the way) to their destination wedding. As a continuing thread, we made a fairy couple for the cake topper.

A very decisive couple, Ting and Gilbert sent us a drawing of the cake design they had in mind. Motiff of pink, silver and dark chocolate brown were all incorporated into the cake.

The final wedding cake is 18" high (6", 10" and 14" diameter) carrot walnut cake with cream cheese icing .

We allocated 3 hours to drive to Sonya's, estimating that was all we needed to get there before the agreed time. The cake left 8am and was supposed to be there by 10am-11am. Unfortunately, traffic in city prevented us from getting there as expected. After several frantic calls and text messages, the cake arrived at 12noon. Thankfully, the couple (and the guests) were still on their way to the reception. We were still able to take a few shots of the cake and retouch some parts of the cake that might be necessary for problems that *might* occur during cake transport.
