Buttercream Rose {Wedding Cake}

Classic and Elegant... A smoothly iced butter cream cake with hand piped roses. The cake was a butter yellow color with bright white roses. The cake was kept simple by finishing the tiers with a simple bead border. It is displayed on a white milk glass cake stand.
This is the perfect example of less is more.

Rosettes and Pearls {Wedding Cake}

We created these beautiful buttercream cakes for a wedding at Wine and Roses in Lodi this past weekend. The cakes are decorated with buttercream rosettes with pearl centers, hand rolled fondant pearls, hand piped lace, and pearl trim. A couple of the cakes were embellished with open rose sugar flowers. We set up the cakes in a symetrical layout and used a mix of white and pink milk glass cake stands.

Just Peachy {Wedding Cake}

This sweet peach and white 2 tier round wedding cake was the center of yummy dessert table. (pics to come later of the full table) The bride like the quilted style cakes and the groom wanted something more angular and precise. So we created a cake that gave them best if both. The pleated linear look of the bottom tier satisfied the groom's style while complimenting the more feminine quilted tier. The cake was also embellished with some ruffled flowers. We took an artistic approach to the anemone flower by using a simple gold pearl center. The cake is displayed here using one of our jade cake stands.
