Being in Sedona Arizona Brides are looking to bring a bit of the desert or Southwest flare into the cake design. After being asked a few time to put real cactus or succulents on a cake I created these cakes using pastillage sugar and marzipan. I can’t even image putting a real cactus on a cake…..ouch!
Here is a sweet cake with a Bride and Groom made from Marzipan into the shape of a Cactus Bride & Groom.
Tuscan finished buttercream creates the canvas for this wedding cake. Sugar rocks surround the Marzipan cactus Bride & Groom.

Would you be willing to share your recipe/method for your beautiful pastillage sugar and marzipan succulents? They’re so gorgeous; I’m particularly interested to know how you got the color. I was thinking of going with a green further toward black, but your color is much more elegant. Thanks so much for posting your inspiring work! Elizabeth
Thank you! I actually made it up as I went…….. I bought some real plants used them as my aid. It was helpful to have them sitting by my side. That way I was able to tweak the sizing and colors. Hope this helps. Love to see what you come up with. I send you the email address
Would you please share your recipe for the succulents? They’re gorgeous! I am especially interested in how you got the striking colors. Thanks so much for posting your beautiful work.
