Esteban & Jenny's Wedding

I've known Esteban for nearly 10 years.  We used to work together at a movie theatre working the late shifts (5pm-2am!) due to midnight showings.  When I first met him, I thought he looked like a real life Super Mario.  So when his birthday came around, I drew him a birthday card of super mario wearing our movie theatre uniform.  Working together for a little over a year, my DDR partner in crime and I stayed in touch throughout the years.  Esteban is one of kindest and most giving so I'm so glad that he found Jenny as she is such a sweet heart and compliments his so well. 


Making a wedding cake is a big project.  This cake, along with the 3 other sheet cakes that was fed to a wedding of 300 people was baked by Jayson Delos Santos.  He also didn't just make one flavor cake, but made 3 per the request of the couple.  

My only part in this was to help Jayson execute the decorating of this cake based on a photo.  From a decorating standpoint this was a 3 layer cake consisting of an 8 inch, 10 inch and 12 inch rounds. Jayson rolled the fondant and covered each layer.  I piped the design around the cakes starting with the base border then the sides.  

The cake topper was arranged by Jayson.  Yellow and white roses were inserted into a half sphere of flower foam. The cake tiers were tacked onto plastic spacers supported by dowels that locked in place.  This was beneficial for allowing us to arrange the flowers ahead of time.  The remaining flowers were used to decorate the table.


Not only does Jayson bake cakes, but he also took Esteban and Jenny's engagement photos! Congrats Esteban and Jenny
