A Closer Look

Dear Visitors,

Thank you for visiting my blog! When I made these classical wedding cakes I did away the conventional sketching of cake design to give way to experimentations. If you will visit my facebook account/Julio Lapuz Jr, you will see dramatic transformations of these two cakes...the most foolish of which is when I stripped an entire tier of a finished overpiped 'basketweave' design (in my opinion the best dimensional basketwoven cake I made), repeated the entire process, replaced the pastillage discs most prominent in both cakes, then resurrected them into a 'mostly lambeth' bridal cake and a lambeth groom's cake as you see now.

I never intended to make two lambeth cakes for this occasion; neither did I gave up in the challenges I faced in creating them; rather I did my best to make my cakes way better than the original- high humidity, during rainy months in the Philippines being the main culprit gave me more hours of work and countless sleepless nights; but it also brought out the most creative in me - sometimes I think Heaven guided me to go to my favorite technique- the lambeth method or the old english way of decorating cakes.


Check the details of my masterworks for 2010 and scrutinize the techniques I executed! Rarely will you find wedding cakes in Manila made the old world way of decorating cakes! To the bride who gave me freedom to create whatever I wish for her cake, Kathy Manuel-Salenga, Thank You!


Yours sincerely,
