Wedding Cake with Cascading Flowers
As we’re heading into the week of celebrating all things love and Valentine’s Day, I wanted to share a cake with you that was so romantic it would make you swoon on the spot.
I’m pretty sure this is the cake.
This gorgeous four-tier creation is from Hockleys Cakes in the United Kingdom and they call it the “Blenheim Cake.”
This cake is all about romance and flowers and love, and I adore everything about it.
I love the square tiers on this cake – I’m a big fan of non-traditional shapes when it comes to wedding cakes. (This should come as no surprise, since my wedding cake featured eight heart-shaped tiers!) I think the square tiers give it a nice, modern contemporary feel.
The gorgeous and simple white icingĀ with the pearls around each tier give this cake a dramatic and modern look.
But what I love most is the cascade of flowers down the side of the cake. The bride wanted the flowers to replicate her bouquet – which is a genius idea in my book! Hockleys created these flowers with hand crafted white, pink, and violet sugar roses and other dainty buds.
It’s incredibly romantic, don’t you think?
A big thanks to Hockleys Cakes for sharing this creation with us!

Light Green Wedding Cake
I might have mentioned recently that green isn't a color I often go to, except when it's the holiday season.
However, I am loving this mint green confection and would adore it at any time of the year, holiday season or not.
The color of this cake is so cool and really creates a beautiful cake when paired with the white embellishment and lillies as decoration. Read More
S’mores Wedding Cake
When it comes to ooey, gooey treats nothing beats s’mores.
The marriage of melted marshmallows, chocolate, and graham crackers is one of the best flavor combinations ever.
Now imagine those flavors in a wedding cake. Tell me that doesn’t sound amazing.
And so, I give you the s’mores wedding cake.
This very modern twist on our favorite childhood treat is a four-tiered graham cake, with chocolate ganache and marshmallows. The Swiss meringue frosting is even “toasted” with the chef’s torch. Read More
Blue Damask Wedding Cake
There is something to be said for an elegant wedding cake. And this damask wedding cake is both elegant and beautiful.
We’ve featured damask cakes here before and each time we do the cake is so incredibly gorgeous that it’s almost too pretty to eat.
I love the color combination on this cake more than anything – it’s what drew me to the cake, more so than the damask scrollwork.The blue and brown work so well together and they’re perfect colors for a late fall or early winter wedding. And with a blue cake, you’ll have your “something blue.” Read More
