Icings Swiss Meringue Buttercream is the classic “pastry” buttercream
uses no confectioners’ sugar or shortening. It consists of nothing
but fresh egg whites, butter, sugar and pure vanilla.
Original Buttercream is a light, creamy frosting made with softened
butter, confectioners' sugar and light cream. It can be flavored in many
ways and is used both as a filling and frosting for a variety of cakes
and pastries.
Fondant is a beautiful rolled frosting with the consistency of a tootsie
roll. It has a smooth satin finish and is especially resilient to the
tropical heat. It is made of sugar syrup and glucose, which is cooked
to a specific temperature and then kneaded to a smooth, soft paste. This
paste can then be colored or flavored and used as an icing for cakes
and petit fours.
Cake Decorations Fresh Flowers, Buttercream Flowers, and White Chocolate

Grooms Cake Having its roots in Southern Tradition, the Groom's Cake has been around for quite some time
and is making a fashionalble comeback on the wedding scene. Traditionally, a Groom's cake was sliced and boxed for the
unmarried girls attending the wedding to take home and place under their pillows in hope that the man they dreamed of would
be their future husband. Groom's Cake has come along way since then. Today the cake is meant to be a reflection of the Groom's
interests, whether it be one of his hobbies, favorite sport, alma mater, profession, etc...
It's a personal choice when to serve the cake - either at the rehearsal dinner, as an alternate dessert with the wedding cake,
or as a late night dessert for the wedding party. Just because primarily Groom Cakes tend to be a fruit cake or a chocolate
cake shouldn't dictate what the bride and groom should have. Obviously being named "Groom's Cake" it should be a flavor and
theme that the groom enjoys.
