This was a wedding cake for a couple who was no-nonsense when it came to planning their wedding. All the details were worked out way in advance. Hopefully this gave them plenty of time to enjoy their big day when it finally came, because they deserved it! With their wedding colors being black and white with red accents, they wanted to keep it simple and bring the red accents into the cake-literally!

 

Red Velvet Cake  filled with Cream Cheese Icing and frosted with a white Buttercream. Red gum paste roses and red buttercream piping.

 

An extra cake as a gift from the bride to the groom (as he LOVES cake!!).

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Miller!

A Wedding in Nature

I have always loved being outdoors. Growing up, I looked forward to camping with my family. I liked hiking and camping in the woods with my friends. Loved working at a summer camp-having campfires… and cooking over the open fire… and participating in the beautiful harmonious songs… and s’mores!!

Being in the woods and camping are awesome enough… but how about adding getting married at the base of a waterfall? That’s what one couple did this weekend. Here is the tree stump wedding cake I made for the happy campers:

4 thick alternating layers of vanilla and chocolate cake, coated with vanilla buttercream, covered in marshmallow fondant, topped with chocolate frosting ‘bark’, and decorated with random gum paste butterflies.

The end result was over 8 inches high!

Congratulations Michael + Michele!
