A Great Gatsby Themed wedding cake for Bridal Bash KC at the beautiful Hilton President. I wanted to stay away from the typical Gatsby/1920’s flapper style and really concentrate the design on the lush luxury of Gatsby style with a bit of a modern twist. The ballroom at the President is huge and full of stately elegance, which is what I wanted this cake to match. Bling, gold, feathers…those were my main design elements. :)
I brought in 1920’s charm and opulence with hand made feather and pearl medallion bas relief on the bottom tier. The top 5 tiers were dedicated to the geometric pearl design which is repeated on the back of the cake as well for a full 360 design. Gumpaste black and gold filler flowers and white open peonies with gold leaves finish the design and bring accent colors into the cake. I cannot wait to see professional pictures of the full set up, Gatsby would have been proud!
