For the Love of Cake! by Garry & Ana Parzych: Wadsworth Mansion CT Wedding - Blush & Gold Wedding Cake

We've been so busy for a long while...but as our wedding season starts winding down, it's time we begin again sharing the beautiful events that our cakes have been part of these past seasons.

I'll start with this romantic early fall wedding that took place last year at The Wadsworth Mansion in Middletown, Connecticut, a majestic classic revival house with lovely grounds.

Kathryn & Lev got married on a sunny afternoon in early October.

Kathryn, who is the talented editor at Who’s Hungry Magazine and also a lifestyle contributor at Marie Claire, had fallen in love with one of our AP Signature wedding cakes called "Windswept."

This is one of our most requested signature cakes, as its design is timeless and elegant and it can be customized to the wedding colors.

Kathryn had a request, that we match the cream and blush shades of her wedding reception flowers and also a little touch of gold, which we accomplished by painting the center stamens of the peony in a muted gold dust. The textured fondant was finished with a dusting of edible pearl dust for an added elegant touch.

The cake was not only beautiful, but delicious as well. The couple chose two different cake flavors and fillings; the top and bottom tiers were white Tahitian vanilla cake with two layers of fresh strawberry mousseline and one layer of French vanilla, and the middle tiers were toasted almond cake with 2 layers of mocha mousseline and 1 layer of French vanilla mousseline.
