CAKES GoodieBox Bake Shop CARRIE SPINDLER, OWNER AND BAKER-IN-CHIEF EDGEWATER (201) 282-4344 GOODIEBOXBAKESHOP.COM This geode cake features galactic blue colors paired with rose gold for an original look. “I went for drama with this cake,” Spindler says, “a space geode theme, like moon rocks.” The geode is centered on the double barrel second tier to give it more surface area. Crushed rock candies in a soft coral shade are placed individually by hand to create shadows, fading outward into light pink rock candy, with clear rock candy crystals around the perimeter. Gold leaf around the geode gives it texture and dimension. Marbleized blue fondant is embellished with hand-painted touches of edible bronze and rose gold “to make it more natural,” Spindler says. A geode wedding cake might appeal to “science nerds” or brides “who don’t want frilly or feminine,” she says. “This is elegant, and you can really customize it to fit a wedding palette.” B 16 WINTER/SPRING 2018 | (201) BRIDE
