Purple and White Wedding Cake
When I saw this cake, I knew I had to feature it.
We are not strangers to Intricate Icings – we love their work! It’s always so meticulous and, well, interesting. So often, I’ll spy a cake I love, and won’t be surprised that it’s the work of this awesome Colorado bakery.
This cake is no exception. I think two things drew it to me: first, the richness of the purple. To me, purple – or really, any deep, strong color – must be treated carefully when it comes to cake. One false move…one tint or shade the wrong way…and you have MESS on your hands. But the hue of this cake is just incredible! Rich, deep, vibrant. Perfect.
The second detail I love? The diamond piping, which is so meticulously executed. I love how the lines don’t always connect…how they are perfectly straight and even, as though they were snapped with a chalk line.

The flower garnish, made up of pale hydrangeas and pink roses, fills in the spaces perfectly, giving the cake a cohesive look. This cake is kind of old fashioned, in that it’s not stacked (and we predict a swing back Read More
Scroll Pattern White Wedding Cake
Today, we show another installment in the “all white done right” category.
Jenniffer from Cupadee Cakes consistently turns out beautiful cakes. This one is no exception. Four tiers of white buttercream. Three of the tiers feature a wide piped border, reminiscent in detail of exquisite crown moulding. Different components make up the border, a combination of fleur-de-lis-like swirls and dots. On the third layer, Jenniffer fashioned a bow and anchored it with a brooch, both made of gumpaste. The cake is simple and elegant, Read More
Emerald Ribbon and Diamond Brooch Wedding Cake.
I. Love. This. Cake.
I think it’s everything that a wedding cake for an evening wedding should be. It’s stylish. It’s elegant. It’s dressed up. It’s refined. The colors are used sparingly, but with dramatic effect. And they are hues Read More
