Chef Sue from Garden of the Gods Gouremt was the recommended wedding cake vendor from The Pinery at Black Forest, and our wedding package included a credit for cake with her. This was the most amazing recommendation from our wedding venue. Chef Sue turned my idea cake into reality. I did not want a standard wedding cake with flowers and little design. Our wedding was on the 4th of July and I asked her for a fireworks inspired cake and she delivered us something incredible!
Her baking assistant met us for the tasting, and gave a great idea of what to expect from flavor pairings. There were about 15 kids of filling and 10ish types of cake that we tried. They had everything from the tame/normal flavors to the more adventurous, and I have a deep love of cake and frosting so this gave me great options. We ended up with the standard almond white cake with a vanilla crème filling, deep chocolate cake with a ganche type filling, balsalmic cake with a strawberry filling, and my favorite a lemon cake with blueberry filling (each flavor was amazingly vidid). The fondant they used was very flavorful and not chewy like some you get, it had the right amount of sweetness with it.
My cake was definitely a show piece for our wedding, but we had no problem getting it cut and eating it. Sue delivered it early in the day to the venue with no issues, and she captures all the colors and energy I wanted from my cake. The price was better than I could have expected for such a large cake that had a great deal of technical difficulty in the design.
