Amazing Wedding Cakes
Picnic, Calla Lilies & Wheel of Cheese

The mother of the groom would like Chicago's CakeGirls to create an offbeat wedding cake for an offbeat wedding, where the reception will be a picnic. This cake will have a red-and-white checkerboard pattern, blades of grass, ants, and the topper is a pig roasting on a spit. LA's "Merci Beaucoup Cakes" bakery meets with a bride who wants to incorporate the southern tradition of a groom's cake into their reception. Her husband-to-be is clueless as to what a groom's cake is. But since it's HIS cake, and his choice, he wants a cheesecake. And he wants it to look like: a wheel of cheese. Christopher Garren's Cakes gets an order for a wedding cake for a bride and groom who want bold colors, inverted tiers with a quilted pattern, and orchids. Chris follows the game plan...up to a point. As the design evolves, he realizes yellow calla lilies will be much better for the overall look than the white orchids requested by the bride.
