The winning design for The 2009 Allie Award for Best Cake Presentation in Atlanta. This award is given by NACE and ISES which are two hospitality associations. This specialty themed wedding cake was inspired by the groom's love for the ocean. He is an artist by trade and grew up on the ocean in Florida. All the sea creatures he created from clay and the coral was created from sugar. The cake is covered in sugar fondant icing and then hand sprayed to give a darker to lighter effect. The fish on the cake are hand painted with colored chocolate and the seaweed is also created from sugar fondant icing. The bottom tier of this cake is decorated Styrofoam since the couple did not need so many servings. This cake will serve 100 guests.
