Modern Wedding Cakes

 

The term “modern wedding cake” may mean different things to different people. Here at A Wedding Cake Blog, we take the term to mean anything with a contemporary feel; a cake that eschews the traditional white on white, piped and buttercreamed and trimmed with swags or roses. Modern may refer to a bold use of color, or a contemporary decor or shape. It may also refer to choosing something other than the grand, traditional tiered cake – a cake of macarons, for instance, or an assortment of individual cakes. Modern means that you are updating the tradition: perhaps you aren’t entirely throwing it out. You’re just giving it a breath of fresh air.

Winter Birds Wedding Cake

Posted on December 27, 2011 by Christen

winterbirds

Did you gasp when you saw this cake? I did! If you didn’t go ahead and take a minute and look at it again. Okay, now you’re gasping.

Simply gorgeous. This cake was made by Brooklyn Cake in..well..Brooklyn of course!  The website says this as well and I totally agree but you don’t have to just do red and green or silver and white to have a cake full of holiday cheer!  We are moving beyond Santa and Snowflakes this year people.  Of course if you’ve Read More

Pearlized Snow Berry Fake Wedding Cake

Happy December, Y’all!  We hope that you’re having as much fun as we are with this holiday season!

Last night, we celebrated an early Canadian Christmas with good friends.  Keith, you see, grew up in Canada, and Robin keeps some of the fun traditions alive every year.  In the past couple of seasons, we’ve gotten in on the fun.  Tourtiere, a hearty French onion soup topped with a wonderful Gruyere, potatoes au gratin, and, for the first time, a buche de noel!  And we can’t forget the fabulous French wines.  Yum!  It’s a special Read More

Bare Branch Wedding Cake

Bare Branches Wedding Cake

We’re gearing up – or maybe you’re already in full throttle – for the spectacularity that is the Winter Holiday Season – Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to YOU!  But do you remember the old days?  The days when Christmas didn’t start five minutes after you pushed back from your Thanksgiving seconds?  Or – shudder – right after the Labor Day picnic?

Am I showing my age?  Sigh.

Well…all of that to say that I do remember such a time…a time when you thought…hmm…it’s not fall, it’s not Christmas…it…just…is.  No pretty leaves, no super crazy snow.  Just beautiful bare Read More

White Chocolate Ruffle Cake

Posted on November 19, 2011 by Brooke

Ruffle White chocolate Cake

Today, we wrap up Ruffle Week 2011 here on A Wedding Cake Blog with a cake that has a little different take on the frilly furbelows of ruffles.

Ruffles. Meet Chocolate. Helloooo, perfection.

Don’t you simply LOVE this cake? Two tiers of cake, enrobed in real chocolate, People. This isn’t candy coating, or modeling chocolate. This chocolate has been tempered and made to resemble rustic ruffles, so that each slice of the cake yields a lovely snap. And check out the gorgeous flower pinned to the side, and the topping of – what else? – more Read More

Chocolate Fondant and Autumn Tree Wedding Cake

Chocolate and Autumn Tree Wedding Cake

Isn’t this pretty? So nice and…autumn-y.  I think Christen will be really impressed with me for posting this one.  What do y’all think?

This beautiful cake, made by Slice Cake Studio in Longmont, CO, was inspired by the couple’s wedding invitation!  I would really like to see that stationary personally, because this is stunning and I think it just looks, well…yummy.

Three layers, perfectly uniform in height…the bottom and top covered with a rich, chocolate-brown fondant.  And sandwiched Read More

Fall-Themed Cakes

Posted on November 7, 2011 by Christen

fall mini cakes

I’m going to answer Brooke’s question from yesterday.

I celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas to the max. From the time November 1st until January 1st I embrace as much of the holidays as possible. I know sometimes Thanksgiving can get brushed over because of the hustle and bustle of Christmas. But not in my house. My mums are blooming and pumpkins and warty gourds Read More

Orange and White ‘Double Happiness’ Cake with Anemones

Posted on November 5, 2011 by Brooke

Orange and White Poppy Cake

I heart this cake. Majorly.

Okay, with the “majorly” I majorly showed my age just now.

So, this is another fantastic cake from Shawna at Flourish Cakes. We have been working to get this one up for sometime between the two of us. But she had sick kiddoes, and I ran off to the wilds of West Virginia and well…here we are.

I thought this cake was breathtaking the first time I saw it. Its simplicity, the clean lines, the East-meets-West feel, the, I don’t know, crispness Read More

Zen-Inspired Wedding Cake

Zen Cake

I super need some Zen today.

I am running a half marathon tonight – my first ever race, and I pick a half marathon – and I’m a little nervous about it.  My poor family.  I’ve been a little on the crabby side this week.

But then I remembered that I had this lovely, Zen-inspired cake tucked away in my “favorites” file for just the right time…and lo and behold, here it is.  Just the right time.

Just looking at this cake calms me the heck down. 

Isn’t it elegant?  Four tiers, trimmed in black, Read More
