A Cake in Uniform

A friend from culinary school approached me and asked if I would make a sampler for her brother and his fiancĂ©.  They are having a military wedding and she thought it would be fun if she brought them cake pops styled for the Marines. It hit close to home, since my boyfriend is a former Marine and Veteran. I wanted to make them extra special.

So with the proud colors of the USA, I created these!


But I really wanted to make these special, I wanted them to symbolize the couple and the strength it takes to endure a military relationship. So I created what I envisioned would be their wedding day! 


The good buttons and red stripe of the Marine uniform and the glitzy pearls of a wedding dress, all edible and ready for admiration! 

Pretty good right? Louis and I won't have a military wedding someday, but we did get to dress snazzy for the marine ball a couple years ago! Gotta love a guy in uniform!


Anyways, the happy couple loved the treats and I will be making more for them soon!

Happy Monday! Take the week one sweet bite at a time!
