Wedding Cakes – Get Inspired
| The wedding cake is the jewel of the party — I mean second to you, of course. Make it special. And no, you don’t have to seek out some famous New York City baker to have a wedding cake your guests will be swooning over. Have some faith in your local bakers – chances are they are very talented in the skills necessary to recreate the look you want.
Here’s a tip — when you come across a photo of a cake you love, either in a magazine or on-line, cut it out or print it out. I know, I know it’s seems like a no-brainer since you’ve likely been clipping out dresses and such from all your wedding mags — just don’t forget the cakes. When it comes time to place your cake order review the clippings you’ve gathered. Pick your favorite or make some notes on a few so that your baker can combine your ideas onto what will be your wedding cake. The wedding cake photos just below are from a client of mine. She saw the inspiration cake in a copy of Brides magazine and just fell in love. The only thing she modified was having the baker turn the ribbon and embellishments from gold to brown to complement her Cosmopolitan Styled, Pink & Brown wedding. |

This is so helpful. How many wedding dresses did I look at in magazines, all the while bypassing all of those cakes in the background! What a great idea to clip those as well!
I know — if you play your cards right with those mags.. there will be nothing left but ugly dresses and ads. I really found clipping out photos to be helpful. Not only did it help me narrow down the elements I liked, but it helped my vendors know exactly what I meant. There’s nothing worse than trying to explain what you mean solely on words. Like, “I kinda like those flowing things that go down the cake with those thingy’s on the side” I mean what baker can decipher what you really mean by that. haha!
ohhh gorgeous omg gorgeous *thrusts*
