Recipes for Wedding Cakes and for Rolled Fondant Icing
ORANGE POUND CAKE
Solid shortening
2 pounds sweet butter
10 cups sugar (5 pounds)
2 dozen large eggs
1/2 cup freshly grated orange zest
3 tbs orange extract
3 tbs vanilla extract
13 1/4 cups unleavened sifted cake flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups orange juice concentrate
4 cups sour cream
Grease with shortening 9 round cake pans, 3 in each of the following sizes: 12 inch, 8 inch and 5 inch (all 3 inches deep) and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar on low speed until light and pale yellow. Beat in the eggs, orange zest and extracts. Slowly add the flour, baking soda and salt, incorporating fully after each addition. Mix in the concentrate and the sour cream. Scrape the sides of the bowl and mix to smooth out any lumps.
Divide the mixture into prepared pans so that each is equally full. Bake in a preheated 325 degree F oven for 35-40 minutes or until cakes pull away from the sides of the pans and cake tester comes out clean. Check cakes after 30 minutes. (Do not let pans touch each other or the sides of the oven. It is important not to overcrowd the oven. Unbaked cake layers can sit at room temperature until oven space is available.) Remove cakes from oven and allow them to cool in their pans on a wire rack.
Baked cooled cakes can be wrapped in their pans and refrigerated up to one week, or frozen.
Dark Chocolate Filling
3 cups heavy cream
4 tbs sweet butter
3 pounds semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
In a large saucepan bring cream and butter to a rolling boil. When the cream mixture rises in the pan, add the chocolate, stirring constantly. Remove the pan from heat and stir for 5 minutes. Cover the filling and store at room temperature for 3 days of refrigerate up to one week. Bring the filling to room temperature when ready to use. It may be necessary to heat the filling in a double boiler to achieve a spreadable consistency.

ROLLED FONDANT
4 pounds confectioners' sugar, plus extra for kneading
1 1/4 cups light corn syrup
2 tsp orange extract
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup cold water
2 tbs gelatin
Yellow food coloring
Red food coloring
In a large mixing bowl, sift the confectioners' sugar. Make a well in the center of the sugar and add the corn syrup and extracts. Do not mix.
In a small saucepan add the water and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Let stand one minute. Heat the gelatin and water over medium heat for 1/2 a minute or until it is hot and the gelatin is fully dissolved. Pour mixture into the well. Quickly stir the mixture with a heavy wooden spoon from the center out to evenly disperse the gelatin.
When the mixture becomes too thick to stir, turn it out onto a work surface dusted with confectioners' sugar. Knead the fondant until smooth and doughlike. If the fondant is sticky (this tends to happen in humid weather), knead in more confectioners' sugar.
Knead in food coloring until desired color is achieved. Add coloring a few drops at a time, as a little goes a long way. Store fondant in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator up to one week. Bring to room temperature, then knead well prior to use. If fondant is too dry, add a few drops of water. If fondant is too sticky, add more confectioners's sugar. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest in an airtight container for several hours before using.
