A return client of ours from Charlotte, Dinah, asked if we could create giant  cupcakes for her wedding. With one small challenge though. It was an outdoor celebration in the summer and the cupcakes needed to hold up to some of the heat as well as “No paper liners around the outside”. Don’t let the “Cup” term throw you off as it did me. Our bakery created 54 giant cupcakes that were actually 54 “miniature wedding cakes”.   These babies were huge and took a whole lot longer than expected, to create.  The roundness of the tops of these are NOT CAKE but a mound of icing covered in a circle of embossed fondant. The center of the blue flowers are actually peppermints. Once again we would like to thank Dinah for returning to Kenfections bakery for her custom cake creation.  Wouldn’t you know it, it turned out to be exactly 100 degrees!

As one of the few bakeries in Charlotte, NC to handle these requests, this Lego inspired cake is our version of what a wedding reception cake should be, FUN.  This two tier golden vanilla cake features our signature butter cream icing and fondant Lego’s.  The miniature Lego people and “4 Wide Bricks” are made of white chocolate. The larger scale Lego figures as well as the bricks that appear under the fondant “cover” are gum paste. Total of 17 hours went into creating this cake mainly due the Lego pieces and figures.    We are proud to have been selected to build this custom cake for yet another new client of ours, Elizabeth A. in Charlotte NC.

Our newest Charlotte client was a guest at the Tiger Woods Cake unveiling back in the Spring. Dinah called Kenfections for two reasons: The Creativity of our bakery staff & The Taste.  Her double layer two tier wedding reception cake features devils food chocolate cake with REAL raspberry filling between each layer.  The lavender roses and green leaves are gum paste while the cake is simply iced with our signature butter cream icing, at Dinah request.  The cake base is enough to serve 30 guests and the top tier will be frozen until her 1 Year Anniversary (as tradition stands).  We’d like to thank Dinah for entrusting our bakery staff to create her custom “Kenfection” and we will hopefully be creating one for her summer reception next month.  We can certainly create one for your occasion but our schedule is filling up so book it soon here.

Another new client of Kenfections needed a rehearsal dinner cake themed after the groom’s propensity for hunting.  The cake is large enough to feed 100+ and is a double layer chocolate buttercream on chocolate cake. The tree stand is made from fondant and the shotgun shells are gumpaste.  The cake topper with the bride dragging the groom was a custom made piece which the client provided.  Notice the deer standing back watching in relief.
