Episode Details: Season 3 Episode 12
Episode Name: Romantic, Unstacked & Bollywood
Preview:
Chris at Christopher Garren’s Cakes meets with a woman who wants to wear her grandmother’s wedding dress at her ceremony. The bride-to-be wants her cake design to reflect the vintage/antique feel of her wedding, and to also evoke her grandmother’s dress. Chris gets inspired by other elements of the wedding, including the graceful arches in the courtyard of the venue, and a harlequin floor pattern in the main foyer. His final design includes lace detail from the grandmother’s dress fabric, flowers like the ones in her bouquet, and uses a soft, romantic palette. The sheer amount of detail will be the biggest challenge to the bakery team, but the end result will be an old-world masterpiece.

Amazing Wedding Cakes Season 3 Episode 11 Lotus Blossom, Gypsy Rose & Mini Swans

TV Show: Amazing Wedding Cakes
Aired on: 10:00 PM on November 7th, 2010 – Sunday
Channel: WE Channel
Episode Details: Season 3 Episode 11
Episode Name: Lotus Blossom, Gypsy Rose & Mini Swans
Preview:
A couple seeks out Christopher Garren’s Cakes to create a non-traditional wedding cake. In fact, they say they don’t want “their mother’s wedding cake.” The couple specifically wants to incorporate Lotus flowers (because they reconnected at LA’s Lotus Festival after first meeting in New York City), henna designs, and lots of color. Chris is overjoyed because he gets to use the airbrush, create appliqués and detailed mosaics, and sculpt the layers into hourglass shapes. Chris gets the whole team involved in crafting the elaborate decorations, with fingers crossed that when all the parts come together, it will be a glorious yet cohesive cake design.
Reva at Merci Beaucoup Cakes designs a wedding cake with dramatic draping effects in fondant, as a nod to the bride’s interest in acting. There is also the tedious project of cutting out dozens of tiny tassels to trim the “fabric” draping. Thank goodness Marc has a background in the fashion industry, because he’s definitely going to have to help with this one…

Amazing Wedding Cakes Season 3 Episode 10 Through The Looking Glass, Stenciled Elegance & Skeleton

TV Show: Amazing Wedding Cakes
Aired on: 10:00 PM on October 31st, 2010 – Sunday
Channel: WE Channel
Episode Details: Season 3 Episode 10
Episode Name: Through The Looking Glass, Stenciled Elegance & Skeleton
Preview:
LA’s Merci Beaucoup bakery gets an order for a 40th Wedding Anniversary cake. The clients are two sisters, the daughters of the anniversary couple, who want Reva to create a cake that reflects the artistic life their parents have created for them. The party is going to be inspired by Alice in Wonderland, so the cake should reflect that as well. Reva gets carte blanche to go as far as she wants with the design… and she delivers with her “Through the Looking Glass” creation.
The CakeGirls in Chicago get an order from a bride and groom who want clean lines and minimal decoration. Brenda and Mary decide to work on this elegant, 5-tiered cake together. Brenda wants to practice her decoration skills, so she goes to work on the elaborate stencil applications. Mary’s fine with that, because she’ll be watching Brenda’s every move. Brenda doesn’t get it right at first, but eventually gets in a groove, and her ivory stencils on chocolate fondant make the cake both modern and elegant. After this tall cake is decorated and then stacked, the finishing touch must be added: a monogram on the top layer. In order to carry out this last bit of decoration, Mary pulls off the rare, one-handed monogram application (with double-tip change) while perched on a ladder – not for the faint of heart.

Amazing Wedding Cakes Season 3 Episode 9 Day Of The Dead, Champagne & Surprise

TV Show: Amazing Wedding Cakes
Aired on: 10:00 PM on October 24th, 2010 – Sunday
Channel: WE Channel
Episode Details: Season 3 Episode 9
Episode Name: Day Of The Dead, Champagne & Surprise
Preview:
Halloween weekend in Los Angeles can only mean one thing—the Day of the Dead. Marc and Reva get an order to do a wedding cake based on the holiday. Marc needs some inspiration, so the Merci Beaucoup team takes a road trip to the Olvera Street marketplace, to drink in the colors and culture of LA’s Mexican heritage. Could this be one of Marc’s greatest creations?
The CakeGirls get an order for a champagne wedding cake: actually, one large cake depicting a bottle of champagne in an ice bucket, with 15 smaller replicas for the wedding party. Sounds like a lot of work, but then Mary gets the clever idea to fill the bottle (made of sugar) with actual champagne. Now we’re talking challenge! Especially for Ben, who has to deliver the cakes to the venue, while hoping that the champagne bubbles won’t make the sugar bottle disintegrate!
Cake Alchemy owner Lauri is making an engagement cake for one of her favorite people in the world: her loyal and beloved employee, Stephanie. The cake (and engagement party) will be a surprise, so Lauri keeps Stephanie distracted by having her work on this mysterious client’s cake. Will Lauri’s team be able to keep their secret, while crafting this unusual, inverted cake for their colleague?

Amazing Wedding Cakes Season 3 Episode 11 Modern Beach, Masquerade & Ottoman

TV Show: Amazing Wedding Cakes
Aired on: 10:00 PM on October 17th, 2010 – Sunday
Channel: WE Channel
Episode Details: Season 3 Episode 11
Episode Name: Modern Beach, Masquerade & Ottoman
Preview:
Christopher Garren’s Cakes is asked to incorporate a fun, beach motif into a wedding cake. The clients trust Chris implicitly, and give him full creative license on the project. The only item they give him for design inspiration is a gift bag, which appealed to them because of its colors, clean lines, and flowers. To bring his vision to fruition, Chris wants to try out some new techniques. But will the learning curve for these new skills throw Chris and his team off their schedule? Between the new techniques and the complicated detail work, will they miss their deadline?
Reva at Merci Beaucoup Cakes designs a large wedding cake that incorporates the “Masquerade” theme of the couple’s wedding. The colors are bold—black, white, and red. Reva also wants to incorporate a “collar” around two of the layers, and plans to construct the collars out of “pastillage.” “Pastillage” is a sugar-based dough which dries quickly into rigid, decorative forms that are often quite fragile. But neither she or Marc are proficient at working with “pastillage”, so will they succeed in executing her design?

Amazing Wedding Cakes Season 3 Episode 7 Bobble Head, Roses and Stripes & Scroll Motif

TV Show: Amazing Wedding Cakes
Aired on: 10:00 PM on October 10th, 2010 – Sunday
Channel: WE Channel
Episode Details: Season 3 Episode 7
Episode Name: Bobble Head, Roses and Stripes & Scroll Motif
Preview:
The Chicago sisters receive a challenge they can’t refuse—to create a bobble head groom’s cake. The groom is a huge football fan and has his heart set on seeing this cake at his reception. Can Mary design a structure that will bobble, but not fall? She comes up with a game plan, but the pressure is on. She has just one chance to line up the cake-filled helmet and send it through the uprights….
At Merci Beaucoup Cakes, Reva creates a cake concept which marries the opposing masculine and feminine design requests from her bride and groom. So it’s black & white stripes for the groom (named Taylor), and drapery and pink roses for the bride. Marc’s background in fashion design comes in handy when it comes to making fondant “drape,” now if only they can get the color right…
Cake Alchemy has an order for a wedding cake with a custom stencil scroll pattern, and gum paste flowers. But it’s summer in the city and Manhattan is in the middle of a heat wave. Will the fondant wilt before Lauri can even get it on the cake? And if they can get the fondant to stay, will the steamy temps turn their stencil designs into melty rivers of purple icing? On an all-white cake, that would spell disaster!
