Boring white wedding cakes are out! It's all about one of a kind, show stopping creations these days. Your wedding cake should be thought of as part of the decor. It should look as if it is a piece of edible art that matches the theme of the night. I decided to do this blog on seasonal spring/summer cakes! Watching food network last night gave me the inspiration for today's blog. Cake decorating is no easy fete....these cake's truly are works of art.
This delicious design looks more like an art piece than an edible cake! Sugar paste lilies and orchids covered the fondant cake. Photo from The Knot.com
If you want to stick with an all white cake there are ways to make it pop. "Eat your wedding cake and wear it, too." Mimic the look of vintage floral fabrics, or the lace from your wedding gown. This cake by Martha Stewart Weddings is anything but "old fashioned"
This fresh colored cake is modern and a sweet little treat. The design is made up of the couples monogram and love notes from different poems. Such a creative idea! Monograms are a big trend this year and are a perfect way to top off a cake! (Martha Stewart Weddings)
Planning a beach wedding? How adorable is this seashell cake? A theme cake can be fabulous if done right. This cake is detailed to perfection! What a show stopper for an ocean side wedding. (knot.com)
Spring Fling! This colorful, whimsical, poppin cake would be perfect for a spring or summer wedding. The pop of colors are just enough without overbearing the creation. (Photo via Martha Stewart Weddings)
To get the look of these cakes most bakeries will use fondant. Although fondant is the hot thing to do....remember buttercream always tastes better! If you are on a tight budget do not fear that you have to cheapen out on your cake. A lot of bakery's offer styraphone cakes as your show piece and sheet cake in the back to serve your guests. In my opinion cake is one of the key elements of the night! Guests always remember how the cake looks and tastes. Enjoy going to your cake tastings and find a bakery that "takes the cake for you"!
