Pierce
and Keely's cake was made by Mich Turner, the proprietor of London's Little
Venice Cake Company, who has created the talked-about cakes for some of
the biggest celebrity weddings - including Madonna's.
For Pierce and Keely's cake, Mich created a stacked six-tier masterpiece.
Very much Keely's idea, it was partly based on photographs of the cake Jacqueline
Kennedy served at her wedding to Jack. She requested a carrot cake, and
the result was "very flavourful, spicy and moist," says Mich, who tested
recipes by sending sample cakes to the couple's Malibu beach house by overnight
courier.
"Keely wanted the cake to smell as incredible as it tasted, so we added
orange blossom extract to the icing, which enhanced the fragrant flowers
that cascaded from the top tier." Says Mich. Finally, Keely's mother Sharon
crystallized edible flowers with the finest of sugars to give the cake its
shimmering, dew-like appearance. |
