Blue Squares Geometric Design Wedding Cake
I leapt at the chance to feature this beautiful cake by Cakes By Beth in Manchester, UK. Isn’t it gorgeous?
When Beth originally met with the bride and groom, they had very few specific ideas about how they wanted their cake to look. They knew they wanted four tiers and something simple in design that incorporated navy blue ribbon, but that was the extent of their input. Enter Beth and her brilliance! She suggested this geometric design of overlapping squares, reminiscent (to me, anyway) of a Chippendale motif. And though she was prepared for the couple not to love the idea…they did! Two of the original four layers became Read More
Gothic Wedding Cake
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
Pink Painted Wedding Cake
Happy Happy Spring! That is what this cake says to me!
I found this incredibly beautiful, demure little cake on Pinterest, but it was posted there from Amelie’s House (byline: “a makey-bakey-cakey place.”) I think I have found yet another UK love interest.
I LOVE pink. I LOVE pink wedding-y things. And painted cakes? Are the bees’ knees in my book. Really? Don’t you just want to leave work behind today, put on a pretty Read More
Nautical Love Wedding Cake
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!

Hand Painted Tattoo Wedding Cake
I ran across another cake by Becky at Consumed by Cake, which led me to a little digging (I simply had to know more about her lovely work), which led me to brashly introduce myself to her when I found this incredible hand painted tattoo wedding cake.
The introduction went something like this:
“Hi, my name is Brooke, and I am in love with your cake.”
Becky graciously responded to my fawning and gushing, and sent me some darling details about this one. This was, it seems, her first “international” wedding cake! The couple, from Belgium, saw Read More
Hand Painted Roses Wedding Cake
We’ve seen hand painted wedding cakes. And we’ve seen roses wedding cakes. But we’ve never seen someone put the two together. The beautifully talented and oh-so original Victoria Made has once again set our hearts aflutter.
We love the simplicity Read More
Gothic Roses and Birdcage Wedding Cake
In last week’s round up, I featured a link to Boho Weddings, a fun UK wedding blog that celebrates unique and unusual wedding details. I was so excited to see one of my favorite cakeries, Cakes by Beth, featured in one of their posts!
Beth Mottershead took a unique professional path to her post as owner and creator of Cakes by Beth, via a PhD in Materials Science. That meticulous attention to detail, coupled with a love of creativity, led her to the place she is today.
Beth recently launched her 2012 Cake Collection (I LOVE that she launches Cake Collections, like the true artist and designer she is!) We’ll be featuring Read More
