Pastel Thai Inpired Wedding Cake

Thai Inspired Wedding Cake

Erica of  Erica O'Brien Cake Design takes us in a decidedly unexpected direction with today's Thai-inspired cake.

I have seen some really beautiful cakes that pull from Asian inspiration, but most of the time, they featured deep, bright colors. But with this cake, which was featured in a stylized shoot, we see beautiful Thai design elements approached with the light, deft touch of pastel.  And it works beautifully.  I absolutely love the stacked fondant Thai arches, and the way that Erica alternates a couple of gold layers into the mix.  And the sweet flower blossoms, as well as the gold-tinged peony, are breathtaking.  She even plays with Read More

Wedding Bells Wedding Cake

wedding bell wedding cake

We still say that wedding bells are ringing…but when did you actually last hear some?

Well, even if churches don’t still come with nifty bell towers (and lots of people don’t even get married in churches these days), it’s still a quaint thought.  And this cake celebrates that notion bee-autifully.

Two square tiers, flawlessly covered in white fondant and trimmed with an edge of tiny white dots are then embellished with bells, cut out from more fondant, painted with edible gold dust, and Read More

So, how fabulous is this positively adorable cake depicting a yummy-looking stack of Chinese takeout?  Would you not LOVE to know this story?  I shall imagine one for us.

Sari-Inspired Wedding Cake

Sari inspired wedding cake

This beautiful sari-inspired wedding cake is the incredible work of Cory Pohlman, head decorator at Rosebud Cakes in Beverly Hills, California.  Elin from Rosebud tells me that the entire family came into the bakery to sample the cake, and wanted something less sweet than a typical American bakery wedding cake.  They wanted unusual flavors that would stand out in the memories of their guests.  The bride also wanted to pull in design elements from her wedding ensemble and her colors, and provided Cory with pictures of these things, as well as photos of other things she liked.  The result was Read More

Gold Wedding Cakes

Gold-Embossed-Cake_thumb

It’s 2012 and it’s time to start saying “that was sooo 2011″ about everything that we had to have eleven days ago but now is soo not cool.
What was hot in 2011 and (I think) is going to make a strong presence again in 2012 is gold. Gold, gold, gold. I love it. So I decided that for a little hump day treat I would feature some of my favorite gold cakes that have been clogging up my Pinterest file.

Until recently gold got a bad rap. I blame the 80’s and gold lame’ dresses (I had one..and matching black shoes with a gold lame’ bow)  They were Sam & Libby.  Don’t hate. Now Read More

Champagne Wedding Cake

champagne wedding cake

Some cakes are stunning in their detail.  Some are breathtaking in the display of the baker’s skill.  And some are flat out…adorable.

This, Ladies and Gentleman, is an adorable cake.

The label adorable is by no means slander.  It’s perfect in every detail.  Not a wrinkle in the fondant.  Not a twinkle out of place in the fountain-y, sparkly, headdress-y cake topper.  It really is perfect. 

But I use adorable Read More
