Sponsoring A Wedding Cake

After catering to more than a hundred weddings, It is finally time to sponsor a wedding cake. Initially I quoted a price, but changed my mind after seeing that the return on investment for sponsoring outweights the price. Undeniably, I had a great experience throughout. Transversing with the family from Ipoh to KL, immersing in culture and tradition, and attending 2 dinners. Thank you for the wedding invitation!

Just as one would put in effort for a competition cake, the same applies if the event is worth sponsoring for. You can say it’s my competition cake for the year. I could look forward to sponsoring a cake every year, and this event is a guide for future sponsorships. My client has big dreams for her cake, therefore I made her the biggest I possibly could, even to the extent of ordering the dummy circle from UK.

Me and the cake. Standing next to it for size.

Dummy wedding cake all covered in fondant

All covered in fondant and assembled, with castle topper partially completed. Cake board size is 30 inches diameter, with bottom tier 24 inches and top most tier 4 inches.

Transporting the cake in my trusted Perodua MYVI. The best compact car for delivery, as you can see, and the side doors open to 90 degrees. Advance planning is need on how many parts the cake should be divided for easy transportation and assembly onsite.

Syeun Hotel staff helping with the cake from the carpark to the ballroom. Ever so helpful, I highly recommend the staff of this hotel.

Five types of flowers: closed peony, rose, hydrangea, tulip and FMM rose. The bottom tier needed 20 full sized peonies to surround it.

Castle topper with the latest cake fad, dummy styrofoam cutouts. The fun thing about cutouts is that you can create anything inside and frame it. I have a pair of lovebirds and frame it with twigs, like a nest.

I love the overall look of the cake with the LCD screen in the background. The table is decorated with fresh flowers, the size of them make my peonies look small. The cake stand helps in raising the cake above the fresh flowers so that they are visible from below the stage. I use a wooden custom made stand.

By the way, I received a BIG tip from Datin Rufina for my cake. 🙂
Congratulations once again to Dr. Sandeep and Olivia. Thank you for the opportunity to sponsor your wedding cake and for including me as a part of your celebration, both in Klang and Ipoh!
