Black Wedding Cake with Cascading White Flowers
It’s not secret that I’m a fan of dark and dramatic wedding cakes – especially those that use black icing.
That is such an unexpected choice for a wedding cake and it’s also perfect when you want to make a statement with your cake.

Red Show Stopping Wedding Cake with Roses
I’m not feeling very subtle today. So I went in search of a cake that would set Brooke convention (you know, beachy, classic, pearls, blah blah blah) on its head. And this is what I found.
Isn’t this stunning? Bands of different red hues encircle an otherwise simple three-tiered round cake. A band of white is added on the top and bottom layers for contrast, and the whole thing is trimmed out in Read More
Grand Red and Black Wedding Cake
The cake I’m featuring today demands your attention.
This is no shy, shrinking violet of a wedding cake. No demure, “Oh, look how sweet and innocent I am. Really, just a place in the corner for me.” No sirree bobby. This cake declares itself the grande dame of wedding cakes, and expects you to perk up and notice – and use your best posture – when you walk into the reception.
Or is it just me? You know, attributing personalities to cakes?
