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.


The centerpience of the display was this 4 tier buttercream cake which has mulitple textures such as a smooth finish, piped rosettes, piped lace, fondant pearls and a dusty pink open sugar rose. 

This is one of the 2 tier cakes that were on each side of the center cake. The rosettes are on the top tier this time and it better shows the hand rolled fondant pearls.

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.



love the cake from this angle.

Yellow and Gray Cupcake Display {Wedding Cupcakes}

Gray is the new neutral and yellow is a perfect sunny addition. The color combination looks great used here on this wedding cake/cupcake display. The cake is clean and classic, allowing the yellow ruffle sugar with a vintage gray button flower to be the focal point. The cupcakes are also adorned with a gray vintage button. The white ceramic tree stump stand (from BHLDN) is the perfect piece to display them on. I fell in love with the stand the first time I saw it and felt it would be the perfect addition to a dessert table, used a cupcake stand (shown here), or to display a tiered wedding cake.
