Tee Time Meets Cake Time

Posted on by admin

At All Things Cake, we take pride in creating desserts that don’t just taste incredible—they tell a story. For this particular wedding, hosted at the stunning Tulsa Club Hotel, we were tasked with crafting a groom’s cake that celebrated the groom’s love for golf. The result? A custom-designed golf bag cake that stole the show and delighted the guests.

The Design: A Masterpiece of Personalization and Craftsmanship

This cake was no ordinary dessert; it was a sculptural centerpiece that perfectly captured the groom’s personality. Standing at an impressive 16 inches tall, the cake featured:

  • A Realistic Golf Bag Design: The base of the cake was expertly shaped and covered in ivory fondant to replicate the classic structure of a golf bag. Elegant golden accents added a touch of sophistication, while fondant “leather” straps and stitching created a hyper-realistic look.
  • Monogram Detail: The bag’s pocket featured a personalized monogram “L” in black and gold, a nod to the groom’s name and a detail that tied the design to the elegance of the wedding theme.
  • Edible Chocolate Golf Balls: Nestled in the fondant “pocket,” the realistic chocolate golf balls added an interactive and delicious element. Guests were in awe that these perfectly molded golf balls were entirely edible!
  • Fondant Golf Clubs: Towering above the cake were fondant and modeling chocolate golf clubs, complete with silver edible paint for a metallic sheen. The clubs added height, dimension, and an unmistakable golfing theme.
  • Buttercream Grass: The cake was placed on a base decorated with piped green buttercream grass, tying it back to the golf course theme and completing the look with vibrant color.

The craftsmanship and attention to detail made this cake the perfect tribute to the groom’s love for the game while seamlessly fitting into the sophisticated ambiance of the Tulsa Club Hotel.

The Tradition of the Groom’s Cake

The groom’s cake is a Southern tradition with deep roots, and it serves a meaningful purpose in wedding celebrations. Traditionally, the groom’s cake is a way to highlight the groom’s personality, hobbies, or interests—balancing the focus that the wedding cake typically places on the couple as a whole.

This cake often reflects something deeply personal about the groom. Whether it’s inspired by a favorite hobby (like golf in this case), sports team, or even a favorite dessert flavor, the groom’s cake is an opportunity to add a personal and playful element to the wedding festivities.

At this particular wedding, the groom’s cake wasn’t just a dessert; it was a conversation starter. Displayed alongside the couple’s wedding cake in the elegant setting of the Tulsa Club Hotel, the golf bag cake added a touch of whimsy and individuality to the celebration. Guests were wowed by the lifelike design and the thoughtfulness behind its creation.

The Tulsa Club Hotel: A Stunning Backdrop for an Elegant Wedding

This venue provided the perfect setting for a cake as impressive as this one. The grandeur of the ballroom and the warm, inviting ambiance created an unforgettable backdrop for this special wedding day.

The groom’s cake complemented the sophisticated wedding decor while standing out as a bold and personal expression of the groom’s style. Its placement in the beautifully decorated reception space added to the allure of the day, and the cake quickly became a focal point for guests.

If The Shoe Fits!

Posted on by admin

We love creating fun groom’s cakes! We have done several shoe birthday and groom’s cakes over the years, but this one was super special because it was for a professional pitcher in the MLB. He apparently has a decent collection of shoes and the bride wanted us to create this one to be edible for his groom’s cake.

The “cake” portion of this one was the shoebox and the shoe itself was made from rice krispie treats and covered in fondant. As with many of our cakes, we had to make the shoe in advance and in stages. We started out by molding rice cereal treats into the basic shape of the shoe. We then covered it in a very thin layer of buttercream and put it in the freezer to harden.

Once we had the shape of the shoe, we covered the shoe in white fondant and layered on the other black and gray sections one by one. We added texture to the tongue and sides as well as the sole. We added stitching marks where needed and we then added the shoe laces to look as though they were actually laced through the holes in the shoe. Lastly, we added the tags and logos with edible images.

She shoebox portion of this cake was made from chocolate 1/4 sheets that we layered with buttercream. We then iced the cakes smooth and covered the box in fondant panels to give the sharp corners. We added the logos and tags with edible images to complete the box. Lastly, we placed the shoe on top and “glued” it down with a little buttercream, so it wouldn’t move during transit.

We love it when couples think outside the shoebox with their cakes!!

Have Cake, Will Travel

Cakes that mimic inanimate objects are always fun to create! This one was for a groom’s cake at the Mayo Hotel.

This cake was essentially a 2-tier cake with the base cake being a 1/2 sheet double and the top being a sphere cake. There was only one element that needed to be created in advance on this cake: The suitcase handle.

THe handle was made from brown Satin Ice fondant. We started by rolling the fondant like a snake and curving it into the size needed for this suitcase handle. We added stitching marks before the fondant had a chance to dry to give it a stitched leather look. We then set this aside to fully dry before it could be added to the cake.

For the globe portion of the cake, we iced a ball shaped cake in off-white buttercream and smoothed it out, so the fondant continents would lay flat. We used the same tone of off-white on the fondant and the buttercram base to give this globe the look the couple was going for. We then airbrush outlined the continents and added globe grid lines. We then placed this cake in the fridge to chill.

While the globe was chilling, we carved the corners of the cheet cake to give it more of the luggage shape. We then iced it smooth in white buttercream. We iced it in white and then airbrushed it brown to give us the leather case look. We then added fondant accents like leather straps and buckles and airbrushed the whole cake to make sure everything matched.

The last pieces to be added were the gold accents and travel stickers. For the gold accents, we placed fondant pieces one the cake and painted them with an edible gold powder mixed with vodka. The vodka will evaporate and leave the gold color. For the location stickers, we printed those on edible paper and mounted them on white fondant and cut them out.

Lastly, we stacked the globe on the suitcase to complete the look. Happy travels to the happy couple!
