Honoring a Good Thing that Will be Lost to Yesteryear.

My client wanted a cake for a #party she was having in #MontaukNY. The cake was to be a replica of the landmark #EastDeckMotel a surfer's haven which had just been acquired by a group of investors who are secretly going to most probably make it into a members only property with high end amenities. My client as many of the locals and various Montauk home owners from the City were against the project and the cake was an homage to the motel, Edie 40 replaced the sign East Deck Motel that sits atop of the real structure, and the scale was smaller to accommodate the party goers for the evening. Covered in fondant we texturized the sides of the building with an impression mat and layered it to make it look like real wooden shingles. Then we marbelized brown fondant and divided it into equal long slabs to replicate wooden planks. My client loved it! It really did look like the East Deck Motel.

Making it Stick!

This cake was fun to make but made me feel sick to my stomach because both the bottle of Perrier and espresso martini had to be balanced and that was a difficult feat. Both were made out of cake and both had to stand up on cake, ok we've done that before nothing too difficult, but this cake or rather the tray which was made of cake was shallow so the dowels really had nothing to dig into. Now here's the best part, when the cake was delivered to the venue and assembled it looked great as seen in the picture but the venue had no a/c and it was raining and humid a nightmare for fondant creations. The bottle keep leaning and then so did the the martini glass, party revelers stood besides me and looked and admired the cake when all off a sudden the martini glass just jumped right off the cake! Everyone looked confused and one party guest remarked "It's a good think it happened now before the party really started." I smiled begrudgingly, I was nervous (sick to my stomach), but I knew what I had to do. I reached into my tool bag and pulled out a brush and put edible glue on the base of the glass and on the cake and adhered them together and prayed. I waited around for 10 minutes spoke with the host and hostess of the party who loved the cake, and then checked the glass to make sure that it was secure, it was, and I left but prayed again it was safe and would be for the rest of the night. A week later I got a call from the hostess' concierge company and was asked to price out a 3D cute white dog cake. Hooray!!! I knew not only the cake was liked when I presented it to the host and hostess but it stayed in place! Thank God!
