Simple Wedding Cakes

 

Sometimes simple says it best. You might choose a simple wedding cake because you prefer a minimalist approach, or because you like you like to stick with the basics when it comes to cake, or even because you are interested in showcasing a particularly fancy flower or cake topper, simple wedding cakes never go out of style. The basic, stacked, white wedding cake, frosted in a smooth coating of buttercream or covered in a snowy blanket of fondant, may hide beautiful flavors and colors beneath its exterior – the best of both worlds. Or maybe you and your groom prefer the traditional “white cake, white frosting” approach – or “chocolate cake, chocolate frosting” – after all, simple doesn’t necessarily mean traditional. On the other hand, a simple cake may be the perfect way to showcase a special caketopper or flower that has personal meaning for you. A topper that shows your style or a hobby that you and future hubby share becomes all the more visible when it doesn’t need to compete with a fancy cake. Maybe you have a family heirloom that can nestle atop your cake. Alternatively, some dazzling orchids or floppy peonies may be all the statement that you need to make. A simple cake need not be boring, after all.

St. Germain Elderflower Wedding Cake

Elderflower Wedding Cake

How absolutely gorgeous is this cake? I want to be a guest at that wedding, if only to get a taste of this summertime stunner.

The cake is a three-tiered vanilla cake, which sounds delicious enough. But wait, there's more! The cake layers are soaked in St. Germain elderflower liqueur, which is apparently all the rage these days. And then, the cake is filled with strawberries and lemon.

And the simple decorations featuring Read More

There's a new trend right now with wedding cake design – super flowers. No, these flowers can't leap over buildings in a single bound, they are just really big flowers on your wedding cake. It's certainly an eye-catcher, don't you think?

I have to say, I do love this Read More

White Wedding Cake with Succulents and Teal Trim

White Wedding Cake with Succulents

There is an easy beauty to this cake – it makes me think of an outdoor late spring or early summer wedding, maybe at a botanical garden, surrounded by bright colorful flowers. This cake would look amazing in a setting like that.

Macaron Wedding Cake — In Paris!

Macaron and Ribbon Wedding Cake

I don’t think that I’ve mentioned in the last five minutes how much I love Paris.

The hubs and I honeymooned there.  Sounds like a no brainer, right? Honeymoon in the City of Love (or Lights, if you prefer.)  But it actually wasn’t our first choice.

We wanted something domestic – in North America more or less – so we didn’t have to hassle with passports and the like. But as we researched, we kept finding super affordable flights to Europe (ah, the good ole, pre-9/11 days…) — until suddenly, we looked at each other, and Read More

Mocha Wedding Cake

Mocha Wedding Cake

Today, I'm all about the coffee.

I may have overslept a bit.  The culprit?  Cold medicine.  Ugh.  No hangover ever made me forget to put the milk back in the fridge.

So coffee aplenty is in order this morning, and this cake is the perfect accompaniament.

Do you love coffee?  Is your fiance a Read More

Wedding Bundt Cake

Wedding Bundt Cake

I can’t see bundt cakes without thinking of My Big Fat Greek Wedding.  But perhaps that’s a discussion for another post.

I don’t know about you, but usually sometime during — or immediately following — the holidays, I seem to have a mini-burst of minimalism.  Usually, it comes in January, after the 12th day of Christmas has come and gone. But this year, I’m having one right now.  Maybe because of the Read More
