Wedding cakes are the newest blank canvas.
Couples can customize their cakes in nearly any fashion
and unlike our parent’s wedding cakes…
Although beautiful in their complexity, today’s cakes are simpler.
Cakes are very much like people;
they come in every shape, size, color, and flavor.
This is a chance as the Bride and Groom express yourselves on a blank canvas! Get the flavors you feel best represents your relationship and the style you feel best about!
If you’re looking for a clean classic look, check out these cakes with crisp white frosting and sharp straight edges.
Ivory or white frosting and is splashed with color from a few simple flowers to coordinate with the wedding colors. One of our favorite vendors, Flour Power Cakes, always has the most beautiful cakes with an infinite number of flavors.
Beautiful and timeless, this style goes well with modern, chic, or industrial looks.
This type of cake is also most often crowned with dainty, intricate cake toppers that can be customized to send any message the couple wants!
Oh, but believe me, we’ve also seen some unique cakes as well!
Another style that gained popularity over the last few years is the unfrosted or “naked” cake, which is the classic cake’s free-spirited cousin.
This particular cake pictured above is only “half dressed” and the style offers a trendy look while still falling under the “rustic” genre.
We’ve also had naked cakes that weren’t even caked at all!
Just recently a bride and groom ordered a giant, three-tiered Napoleon Cake for their special day. Many layers of golden brown puff-pastry are filled with millie fueille cream and dusted with powdered sugar, no frosting needed at all. It was unique, light in texture and flavor, and absolutely delicious!
If big, multiple tiers of cake just seems a bit too much, you can join another newer trend and go mini!
Not only do cupcakes allow for perfect portions, but they’re also great for exact number counts and the flavor options can be limitless!
To cut to the chase: your cake is free ground to express yourself however you want! Pick something you would want to eat. No ifs, ands, or bundts.
Recipe For Happiness:
“Happiness is like a cake we bake that creates the joy and fullness of life.
And, the recipe begins with one cup of resilience to keep it all together
Place next, one cup of acceptance for loving yourself dearly as you are
Put in one cupful of appreciation for your life and the beauty of nature
Insert one cup of direction to help follow those special goals you seek
Next, blend in one cupful of emotion for life’s intense love and feelings
Enter then, a heaping cup of relationships, made of family and friends
Stir in one cupful of giving for sharing your love and kindness with all
Stir, then add a cup of meaning for the purpose that makes happiness rise.
There you have it!”
