Blue Wedding Cakes

The color blue is so intrinsic to a wedding that there’s even a rhyme about it for brides (who often resort to rhymes to remember the eight gajillion details they’re juggling, since no one thinks getting married is a viable reason for a leave of absence from work.)

Where was I?

Oh yes.

“Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.”

Now, what self-respecting bride takes a trip down that aisle without her something blue? But, for the bride who would like to kick up the color factor a little, without rocking the tradition boat too awfully hard, a blue cake may be just the thing.

Whether it’s sky blue, the softest baby blue, or Tiffany Blue, or even electric blue, this cool color is becoming increasingly popular in wedding cake palettes, particularly as an accent hue. We’re seeing satin ribbons around the base of cakes to incorporate that touch of blue, but gum paste flowers on willowy branches also make a startling statement. And paired as part of a hot color combination, with, say, black zebra stripes, or bold, graphic browns, the demure color can take a front row seat in the trendiest of receptions.

Gothic Wedding Cake

Posted on May 9, 2012 by Brooke

I think I spy Victor Van Dort and his Corpse Bride!

Isn’t this fabulous? This gothic cake by Marianne of Dazzlelicious Cakes in Plymouth, UK, is the talk of the town. I absolutely LOVE the cool, ghosty blue and black motif. Black and blue roses, y’all! And swags and swags and stripes and swirls. This is an amazing cake, and this was a really fun wedding, I just know it.

There is just so much going on here! Check out the Read More

Nautical Love Wedding Cake

Posted on April 19, 2012 by Brooke

A couple of months ago, I talked about the fabulous Cakes By Beth and her equally fabulous 2012 Cake Collection. I promised more gorgeousness from Beth, didn’t I? Well, today is the day, Cake Fans!

While I absolutely ADORED Beth’s Gothic Roses and Birdcage Cake (especially right in the middle of Downton Abbey Fever hitting us here in the States in FULL force), I really, really fell in love with this Nautical Love Wedding Cake immediately. Oh, and I can tell you exactly why, no doubt. If you’ve spent anytime here on A Wedding Cake Blog, you’ve figured out that I am a Florida girl, and lover of all things beachy and water-related. My happy place is staring out at the Big Blue Ocean. I would SUPER be that bride with seashells adorning her wedding invitations (in fact, I was.) So my love for this cake was instantaneous. Love at first sight. That Beth used my favorite color – blue – and lots of shades of it, with awesomeness STRIPES and a very cool rope motif…well, it was icing on the cake. (I had to. I had to go there.)

And one of my favorite things about the collection? Every cake had corresponding cookies or cupcakes, which demonstrate an extension of each theme brilliantly. I love LOVE the marbelized heart!

Sombrero Wedding Cake

Posted on March 28, 2012 by Brooke

Normally, I don’t feature cake pics that were obviously taken in the work room of a bakery, or in other non-glamorous settings. But c’mon. It’s a sombrero cake. I mean, seriously. I couldn’t resist.

THIS…is a fun couple. I mean, I’m sure there is probably some kind of cultural connection…or perhaps they met Read More

Van Gogh’s ‘A Starry Night’ Cake

Posted on February 16, 2012 by Brooke

This is not to say that Vincent Van Gogh made this cake. Nor am I implying that the cake was made for the long-departed, troubled, and fabulous Post-Impressionist artist. (Post-Impressionist, not Impressionist. Know your art history, Lovelies.)

This is to say that I LOVE this cake.

How fantastic is it? At once, recognizable as inspired by one of Van Gogh’s most famous works. But the feeling of movement, the energy, the texture, the colors – all spot on.

We espied this fantastic cake on Pinterest, and did a little Read More

Light Blue Wedding Cake

Posted on January 18, 2012 by Christen

Sometimes all you need is a simple and classic wedding cake. There is something about light blue and white that brings me inner peace. That might be why every room in my house has a blue color scheme.

This cake makes me happy. It’s a square cake with three tiers. It’s covered in white fondant and adorned with a light blue ribbon around the middle. The bottom and top tiers have beautiful white scroll work and the topper is a neat cluster Read More

Stylized Minimalist ‘Something Blue’ Wedding Cake

Happy Bridal Show Season!

Most of y’all who are reading us know this, but for those who don’t…this isn’t exactly the hottest time of the year for the wedding industry. So, in a creative attempt to keep themselves busy, many vendors get together during the winter months and have bridal shows, so that prospective brides and grooms can meet vendors, learn about trends, and maybe even win a cool prize or two.

Last November (where does the time GOOOO?), I attended the Downtown Disney Resort Area Hotel’s Bridal Stroll. What a neat event! We saw Read More

Silver Pinecone Wedding Cake

Posted on December 28, 2011 by Christen

I’m not going to lie. The day I figured out that spray paint + pine cones = amazing winter accessories for my house I kind of went nuts. When I figured out that I already owned silver and gold spray paint AND my backyard was littered with pine cones so in essence this DIY decoration was free…I kind of flipped out.

I’m sure these pine cones aren’t exactly spray painted (something about that seems incredibly unsafe to be near your edibles) but they are a gorgeous silver on top of an ice Read More

Winter Birds Wedding Cake

Posted on December 27, 2011 by Christen

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
