Brian and Karen celebrated their wedding at Eagle Castle Winery when most of the county was setting off Fireworks on July 4th. You got to love Brian’s job. He’s an Imagineer for Disney. Meaning he creates all the fun rides at the Disney theme parks. He’s wanted to do it ever since he was a kid. You could say he knows a thing or 2 about lighting. That’s why it was fun for us to bring our new LED up lighting system and gobo projector to his reception. We kept the color of the room a warm amber or “candlelight” color during dinner. Then when Brian and Karen took their first steps toward the dance floor for their first dance, the entire room changed color and took the guests by surprise.
We installed pin spot lighting on the cake and then back lit the wall behind it with our lighting. Normally cakes get lost when the lights are dimmed down, but not when it’s pin spotted. The LED pin spot generates no heat, so their is no fear of a hot light melting the cake.

After, with our pinspot and colored backlight.
Notice there are really 2 cakes in this picture. The main one that we lit, and the smaller one to the right on top of the barrel with no lighting. Without the correct lighting the cake may look invisible. Whereas the one with lighting can be seen from any point in the room.
One cake with lighting, one without.
