La Tulipe Desserts, NY, decorated Chelsea Clinton’s wedding cake with 1,000 edible sugar roses, hydrangeas, calla lilies and orchids that were brushed with glistening, pearl accent.
As today, photos of her cake have not yet been released, so I took a look at their website and must say that indeed, their work is absolutely spectacular!
Look at those amazing edible, sugar paste flowers! The kids at my house will wrangle over a simple, little sugar rose on a birthday cake from the grocery store. They might kill each other if we brought home a cake with sugar flowers like these!
I, on the other hand, couldn’t bear to eat something so incredibly beautiful. This is fine art! Sculpture! I’d have to get crafty and decorate a wreath with them. Since I won’t have the luxury of a wonderful La Tulipe cake, I’m going to be on the look-out for beautiful faux-florals to add a similar, elegant style to a simple ivory cake. After which, they can be used to decorate a wreath without falling apart on a very humid, August day in Michigan … yesterday, for instance.

“Chelsea Clinton’s wedding cake was a nine tier, 500 pound, 4-feet tall, gluten-free cake made by a 9-person team. The cake was traditional, elegant and mostly white with little accents of silver, and 1,000 edible sugar roses, hydrangeas, calla lilies, orchids that were brushed with pearl accent. Since Chelsea is allergic to gluten and is a vegan, the wedding cake was gluten-free with vanilla and dark chocolate mousse. All the ingredients were local, and mostly organic. La Tulipe Dessert’s prices start at $12 per slice. Chelsea’s 500-slice, heavily decorated wedding cake was estimated to cost $11,000″.
All of the spectacular wedding details aside, isn’t this photo telling?
All you really need to have the most wonderful wedding, is to be marrying your best friend!
Everything else is just “the icing on the cake”!
Chelsea and Marc, who met as teenagers in 1993.
