This is actually one of my favorite cakes that I've ever made. I love how simply sophisticated it is. I love the choice of brown and green against the white fonant. But my favorite part about this cake actually happened by accident. When the bride brought me the ribbon to go around the bottom of the tiers they didn't have quite enough and they didn't think that they could get any more. So, to improvise I used a ribbon color that was similar to the brown, unfortunately all I could find was a thin 5/8" width. I covered the back 4-5" gap on the back with layers of the thin ribbon, I then tied bows that cascaded down the back of the cake. I loved the result! But me being me, I forgot to get a picture of the bows. So you'll just have to picture it in your head.

This fun western style wedding cake was created (in August) for a girl who grew up on a ranch. I loved her choice of the two different colors of brown, I admit that I've never tried a tone on tone cake before but I loved it. The hand crafted belt that wraps around the bottom tier was extremely fun to make. It reminded me of sitting at scout camp with my mom and brother playing with the leather tooling sets. I am so lucky my mom decided to take the girls along too instead of dropping us off at a baby sitter. Oh, the memories!

Contrast is what this fun craft inspired cake is all about. The black contrasts the white, quilted lines counter swirled whimsys, the light pink and the bold red help each other stand out, and the elegant black satin bow creates a perfect companion to the charming rick rack border.
Cake Flavor: Raspberry Lemonade with Lemon Buttercream Frosting, and Darn Good Chocolate Cake with Fluffy Chocolate Frosting (I can not even describe how heavenly this one smelled cooking in the oven. YUM!!!)

With just a hint of what lies beneath the theatrically draped ivory colored fondant, we find a backdrop of vibrant red that perfectly sets off silver hand painted horseshoes. A woodgrain, farm style fence runs round the bottom tier ensuring the capture of the heart of our cowgirl bride.
Cake Flavor: Admittedly, I waited to long to post this and have forgotten the flavor of the cake and frosting... :/

RaeLynn (Birds of a Feather)
This cake was made for my sister's wedding this summer. This was the second cake that I was able to make for her. She had two receptions that were held a week apart. When she came down to look at ideas for cakes she found two that she absolutely loved, lucky for her she didn't have to choose between the two.

When my sister got married this summer I had the chance to make her wedding cake, I was so very excited. I then had the opportunity to transport her cake (assembled) 150 miles away from where it was made and put together. To make a long painful story short, it didn't travel well. Thank goodness most of the cake was able to be repaired. (sort of) Sorry Rae. :)

Burgundy, Plum, and white pearls drip down the sides of the Kathy two tiered cake. Row after row of hand piped pearls draws your eye from the very top where the groom is being dragged from his favorite sport down to the very bottom where burgundy colored fishes tempt him to stay.
Cake Flavor: Devilishly Good Chocolate Cake with White Buttercream Frosting.

Graceful curving vines wrap around this beautifully simple three tier wedding cake. The textured fondant leaves add just a touch of color to the smooth surface of the fondant and echos the vine imprinted fondant cake base. The cascading flower bouquet shows off orchids and roses in green, pink, lavender, and purple.

A Timeless Classic-
A soft Ivory backdrop of smooth buttercream icing sets off hand crafted peach roses that rest at the peak of each floral garland, highlighting the garlands are delicate swags of coral colored stringwork. Elegant columns hold multiple tiers of luscious White Velvet Cake high above the table top, while below pale peach liquid flows gently down the cascading tiers of a fountain placed amid a wreath of peach, ivory and white roses. Filigree staircases lead down from the middle tier down to a smaller but just as showy display of roses and ruffles. From there a second set of lace like stairways end in a finale of mirrored garlands, ruffles, and roses.

Citrus Wedding Cake:
This cake really shows Summer time is here with bright vibrant citrus colors that are set off by a back drop of smooth white fondant, brown apple blossoms cascade through falling slices of citrus fruit. Each tier is separated by fresh limes, lemons and oranges. Sliced oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit accent the base and cake topper pulling the citrus theme from top to bottom.
Three tier wedding cake was made with three unique flavors to pull out the citrus flavor of the fruit that sits atop each tier.
Bottom Layer: Orange Marmalade cake with White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting,
Middle Layer: Raspberry Lemonade cake with White Chocolate Cream Cheese and Raspberry-Lemonade Frosting
Top Layer: Creamy Key Lime Cake with Lime pudding filling and Coconut Buttercream Frosting.
All decorations are edible.
