Baker makes Neyland Stadium wedding cake for Vol super fans
Jo West from Jo’s Custom Cakes and Catering made the cake for the couple who graduated from the University of Tennessee.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - A baker in Smyrna made a special delivery for a couple’s wedding day.
Madison and Will Carver graduated from the University of Tennessee and are Vol super fans. They got married at the White Dove Barn in Beechgrove,
The game on the scoreboard was when Tennessee beat Alabama in 2022, 52-49.
“The cake itself was over 100 servings, all vanilla cake. The cake part was 8″ tall and the dimensions were 22″ long and 14″ wide. The front and back facades were made of Styrofoam and we just heard from the couple that they will be saving those pieces, along with the score board and the VOLS signs on top. The cake was built on a 28″ square board and then placed on a custom made wooden plateau that we fabricated here at our shop.”
Jo West and decorator Mary Griffis spent about 80 hours to bake and decorate the cake.
West said they’ve made cakes modeled after Neyland Stadium before but never as big as the Carver’s.
