Cake for Enrique

On Friday the 10th June 2011

Enrique Iglesias performed at the
Motorpoint Arena Cardiff

(formerly the CIA)

to a sell out 5,000 people.

We were delighted to be
commissioned to make a cake for
him to celebrate the successful
UK leg of his tour.

Here is Enrique backstage with
his cake.

He was so delighted with it, that
he uploaded a photograph of the
cake to Facebook before he had
even gone on stage.

Thank you Fernando for taking
photographs of Enrique and the band with
the cake.
Our Cake.

We were sent photographs of all the members of
the band in some of their different stage outfits.  
We were absolutely delighted to see the
photograph of Enrique even wearing the same
outfit Rhianydd had chosen out of the outfit
photographs sent to us when he posed with the
cake.
Enriques Fabulous Band

These guys are amazing!
Their energy on stage and obvious enthusiasm is contagious and the
atmosphere at the shows is fantastic!

We have been told that they absolutely loved the cake and even tweeted and
facebooked about it.  All have all kept their sugar figurines.
About Enrique
Taken from his Facebook page

Since 1997, Enrique Iglesias has been a one-man ambassador of global culture. His fusion of pop, R&B, Latin and rock rhythms has helped catapult him
beyond the limitations of genres, geography and language: making him one of the decades’ biggest stars with worldwide sales of over 40 million copies,
9 platinum or multi-platinum CDs, 19 #1 Billboard Latin hits, more than any other artist in the chart’s history, and over a half dozen top 10 singles on the
Billboard Top 100.
Gathered together for the very first time Enrique Iglesias - Greatest Hits is a collection of 17 songs that made him a star; songs including: “Do You Know,”
“Escape,” “Bailamos” and “Rhythm Devine;” as well as former #1s “Be With You” and “Hero.” In addition Enrique Iglesias – Greatest Hits introduces two
future hits, the first of which is the explosive new single, “Away.” A mid-tempo ballad, written and produced by A-lister/ Grammy-winner Sean Garrett “Away”
is a powerful plea to keep the love lights burning, articulated by Enrique’s honest and soulful vocals. Love and loss also inspire “Takin’ Back My Love,” a
collaboration with multi-platinum R&B star Ciara. Produced by Red One and written by Red One, Frankie Storm and Enrique, “Takin’ Back My Love” is fired
up by Euro/electro club attitude and an undercurrent of Latin flavor.
Enrique was born in Madrid, Spain and raised in Miami. He discovered his musical talent early, but he was determined not to coast on his father’s fame. A
then teenaged Enrique shopped his first demo using the name Enrique Martinez: only reverting to his true surname after signing with a small Mexican
label.
Enrique hit the ground running. His eponymous Spanish-language debut sold one million copies, and won a Grammy award, while 1997's Vivir, broke
into the U.S. Top 40.
In 1999, Iglesias set his sights on a new market with Enrique - his first English-language album. The CD included the mega-hits "Bailamos,” "Be With
You," and "Could I Have This Kiss Forever," a duet with Whitney Houston. Along with going double-platinum in the US, Enrique achieved gold or platinum
status in 32 countries while sold-out world tours established Iglesias as a captivating live performer.
Enrique built upon that success with 2001’s Escape, which included the hits "Hero" and "Escape," and sold over 10 million copies worldwide. He followed
with his fourth Spanish-language album Quizás: making him one of the few artists to score a U.S. multi-platinum English-language album followed by a U.
S. multi-platinum Spanish-language album. Enrique’s winning streak continued in 2003 with 7, his aptly titled seventh album, which like 2006’s
Insomniac, went platinum.
Now, with Enrique Igelsias – Greatest Hits this dynamic global superstar gives his fans a look into his past, present and future.

I love this photo.

Fernando took it as Enrique saw
his cake and Enrique said:

"Oh my God! Is this my cake?"
Screen caps of the Facebook posts and tweet
So many people "liked" Enriques
pic of the cake and comment.

Just after the show had finished
we were in the foyer and were
told that Enrique had posted a
pic on facebook and discovered
that already 6000 people had
"liked" it.

Just amazing!
Another fabulous
compliment was that Laura
Jane, his talented backing
singer had also posted
online about the cake, and
even had a pic of the cake
as her facebook profile pic.
The Show
It was lovely to meet Fernando.

Thankyou so much to Claire for commissioning us to

This is definitely the most exciting thing to happen to
us since Rhianydd set up the business in July 1999.
