On Monday we blogged a beautiful classic floral cake designed from an invitation.  This is the same cake with the addition of a purple band around the bottom tier and a few accents on the leaves.  Adding this third color really changes the look of the cake from classic to modern.  It brings in one more element from the invitation [...]

This buttercream cake was designed with paper in mind.  Our bride brought us unique stationary from her wedding invitation and we recreated it with sugar.  I love this color scheme of purple, green, and silver.  The entire cake was sprayed with edible shimmer to make it sparkle!

Black and white is such a stunning color combination for wedding cakes and poppies are a growing trend in weddings recently.  Two of our handmade sugar poppies adorn this cake and help to accent the three different designs on each tier.

This cake was designed using the bride and groom’s wedding invitation as inspiration.  We free handed the scroll pattern from the invitation in larger form, added the monogram and satin ribbons, and accented with hot pink gumpaste flowers.  It’s a classy combination of hexagon and round shapes as well… my favorite.
