White Wedding Cake with Royal Blue Ribbon

This week I had the wonderful privilege of making my life long friend's wedding cake <3

She was having a 4th of July, beach wedding. She had picked a very simple color palette, of just navy and white, and explained the the overall theme/style as "simple" as well. So I didn't want a lot of embellishments, details, etc on the cake (which I found surprisingly hard to  edit myself for this one, I wanted to add shimmer/glitter, flowers...then more flowers, edible diamonds, etc)

I went with this very basic/rustic white butter cream cake, with two layers of a strawberry orange cake and one layer of chocolate (6in, 8in, 10in). I added a simple fondant ribbon along the bottom - in the same color as the ribbon on her wedding dress. And finished it with a little butter cream pearl border.  

Once it was all set up and ready to go I added the finishing touch - a custom made wedding topper to celebrate the new couple <3

We were very happy that it did not melt and made it to the beach in one piece (with the 3hr drive and 80deg temperatures). I feel so honored to have be part of such a special day! <3

Ivory Cake with Pink Bows

A few weeks ago I had the wonderful priveledge of making a dear friend's wedding cake ❤❤❤❤❤

She needed a 4 tiered cake, which was the largest I have made to date (over 16in tall!). She wanted round and hexagon layers to alternate (the round layers were red velvet flavored, and the hexagon were a strawberry flavor). 

I accentuated the round layers with simple scroll work and soft blush pink gum paste ribbons and bows. 

The hexagon layers were decorated with a quilted pattern and buttercream pearl details on the bottom and where the quilting pattern intersects. 

This cake was made with the 6in round, 9in hexagon, 12in round, and 16in hexagon Wilton cake pans. 

Congratulations to Brittiany and Brent! ❤❤❤ wishing you many years of happiness!
