Let Them Eat Cake!

This morning, I went on a cake binge.  And looking through hundreds of pictures of cake made me want to eat some!  Because that's the thing- gone are the days of elaborately piped twenty tier cakes.  Today, we're seeing simple, buttercream topped delectables.  While every detail of your wedding is all about presentation, including the cake, there is something even more important about the sweet treat that caps off your evening- it has to look and be tasty!

More and more brides are focusing on how to present the cake, rather than overly priced sugar flowers and not-so-tasty fondant.  They're playing with soft textures and color in their cake.  The cakes are getting smaller and the fillings are getting more natural- kind of like that delicious strawberry filled cake your grandma makes every summer.  Play with the proportions of your tiers, the shape and the presentation.

Here's the thing.  Cake is fun!!!  It's also delicious.  So make your guest's mouths water and serve them something that looks as delightful as it tastes!

Talk about presentation!! Take inspiration from this ruffle cake on a floral bed.

This sweet cake is displayed among other desserts on a dainty cake plate and marked by an adorable tag. Labeling stationery is a great way to incorporate your style into your wedding.

For the love of all things sweet, will one of you please don this gorgeous ombre cake? I'm obsessed!!

Check out the vertical icing marks! This type of raw icing technique is the newest things in wedding treats. Also, notice the presentation! This homespun cake appears on a cake plate, giving a nod to grandma, once again! Oh, and grey and yellow are the next big thing.
