Double Happiness Cake

My friend, Dorina, owner of Oro Bakery and Bar in New York City sent me this photo of her latest creation this morning. The "double happiness" theme "wowed" me so much that I had to share it.

'The bride wanted something simple and elegant, but also something that would stand out in the beautiful backdrop of party's venue, The Loeb Boathouse, as well as pay tribute to the famillies' Chinese traditions.

Beautiful inside and out, the cake is vanilla paired with a fresh raspberry buttercream to match tastes and decor: The couple doesn't like chocolate, the groom likes fruit flavors.  The flowers were pink and cream. Unlike some other multi-tiered cakes, all the layers are true delicious cake, and took some engineering to make sure it wasn't
going to go "Pisa."'

And having personally tasted Oro's cakes, I can say that they not only look good, they really taste good too!! Contact them for your next event!

Featured on The Knot's Chinese Wedding Site 2/2011

It's so nice to know that all the hard work that went into planning all the details for your wedding is recognized...especially by the editors of Wedding Channel and now, The Knot. My wedding is being featured on The Knot's "Chinese Weddings" niche site. It is going to go live on The Knot China too! I'll post it when it does. Here is a photo of our cake that was made for us by Bridgewaters. I supplied them with camera-ready artwork of our "double happiness" and "Mazel Tov" logos along with a sketched drawing of what I wanted and they created it! The red fondant ribbons were supposed to mimic the buttons that were on my traditional Chinese cheong-sam. The cake topper were ceramic "dragon" and "phoenix" sculptures that I ordered from China.
