Fondant Ribbons

If you have been scouring the hottest trends of the later part of 2011 and I'm sure most of 2012, you will see this style of cake.  

Thanks to Maggie Austin, a professional ballet dancer turned cake artists, brides and cake designers everywhere are wanting to try out this cool technique.  

I loved making this cake! The ultra thin layers of fondant look like layers of a puff pastry.  It's a beautiful look especially with the color gradient.  

So brides... let me know when you want me to make one of these cakes for you!! 

I can't wait to do it again!

Cowgirl Princess

When I met with this darling bride, she said, I'm a cowgirl princess. 

She wanted her cake to show her dual personality. 

So, we have bling, we have barbed wire, we have roses ruffles and wood grain fondant. 

Pretty cowgirl princess to me. 

What country girl doesn't want her initials engraved in a tree with the one she loves?

Spring Wedding Cake

This is a funky angle for the cake, but I wanted to show off how cool the paper lanterns looked above the cake.  This is an inexpensive, but really great design element for any party.  

Fresh Flower detail. These flowers were amazing! I love the soft color pallette.

Grey and Yellow Wedding Cake

Grey and Yellow... 

Trendy color scheme of 2011.  I hope it lasts a bit longer. I love this color combination.

Modern Red and White

Winter Wonderland

Made with sugar crystals, this cake just screams winter! 

I added a bit of sparkle powder to it for a little extra "glitter"

A Sweet Treat

If you come to the Bridal Shows I'm at, you'll see this fun cake. 

It was inspired by the candy buffet trend we're seeing at weddings the last couple years. 

Wouldn't a cake like this be great in the center of your candy buffet?

Vintage Chic

I loved how this cake turned out.  It had the "vintage" vibe, but with some modern elements with the sugar flowers.  I loved the lace on the bottom tier.  It turned out great with the blue fondant.

Cake Made for a Crowd

This cake is made for a crowd! Serving nearly 200 people.

I love the color combination of green and purple.  

When everything was said and done, this cake stood nearly 30" tall.

Feather Accents

Ribbon Buttercream cakes were very popular in 2011.  

Aren't the feathers a fun accent to the flowers?

Colorful Cake

Beautiful Fresh Flowers can make a cake "pop" with color.  

Princess Cake

Classic Elegance

This cake is a perfect example of a classic romantic wedding cake with a modern twist.  

Fondant is airbrushed with a pearl glaze to give it a shine and crystals accents give the flowers and the cake some extra "bling". 

The "Bling" Factor is a popular trend I'm happy is sticking around for a while.

Coconut Texture

One of my favorite looks. Perfect for any season, but especially cool for winter weddings. 

This cake is covered in large flakes of unsweetened coconut.  

The coconut doesn't affect the taste of the cake (being unsweetened), but gives the cake a wonderful and unique texture. 

Chocolate Roses

 White, dark and milk chocolate roses. 

Delicious and Beautiful addition to this wedding cake. 

Basic Wedding Cake

Here is a perfect example of a basic cake priced at our base price of $400.  

Fondant tiers, basic detail and ribbon.  

This cake serves about 120

Fondant Overlay

Fun technique to use.  Two layers of fondant, then you cut out patterns in the top layer to expose the color of the second layer of fondant.
