White Paisley Wedding Cake

Paisley White Wedding Cake

The theme of the cake centered around the distinctive paisley design.

The paisley design is incorporated across a variety of cakes through the years, and it is a beautiful design element for wedding cakes. The sideways teardrop design is of Iranian and Indian origin and serves as a great way for a couple to incorporate pieces of their ethnic origin into the cake.

“Persian pickles” is truly a historical term used to describe paisley or just a fictional offshoot of the popular “Persian Pickle Club” book.

What does seem to be accurate is that the actual origin of the word Paisley was derived by a town in Scotland of the same name. Other interesting derivatives of the name include Mankolam (from India) and Boteh Jegheh which the Persian translation.

Belgian Chocolates Wedding Cakes

If you weren’t craving chocolate before… you’re welcome.

What’s better than a chocolate cake, enrobed in chocolate cigarettes and encircled with Belgian chocolates?  How about a chocolate starburst wedding cake topper?  Shut the front door!

This chocolate chocolate and more chocolate wedding cake would meet the craving needs of any chocoholic bride out there.  Apparently, once the cake had been served, the chocolates were passed around with coffee.

I love the idea of decorating dessert…with more dessert.  Beautifully executed, we think this would make a swell DIY project as well, and could be scaled back for a groom’s cake, or even a birthday cake.  I’m bookmarking it for my big day, in fact.  And if you lurve the idea of a chocolate wedding cake, check out these other two I’ve featured recently:  a chocolate truffle wedding cake (one of my faves) and a sunburst wedding cake, decorated with warm copper tones.

What are your ideas for decorating dessert with more dessert?

All White Roses Wedding Cake

I know.  Not the most cutting edge cake I’ve ever featured.  But really.  Look at it.  It’s beautiful.
There is something so wonderful about simplicity.  A single color.  A motif repeated over and over.  Color carried through various design elements.

I guarantee you that many people overlooked just how pretty this cake was.  ”Seen one white cake, seen ‘em all.”  But the artist really paid attention here.  See how the size of the sugarpaste roses gets slightly larger with each layer?  And notice that the whites match, and the bisque porcelain topper inspires the finish of the entire cake.

You may thing that simple equals easy.  Not so.  Sometimes, the meticulous attention to detail that a simple cake requires trumps the busiest of creations.  You can’t fake perfection with simple.  No siree bobby.

Art Deco Square Wedding Cake

I started to make this cake a feature for Wedding Cake Topper Friday, on account that I heart Paris in the most longing way, and so of course I sighed and swooned when I saw this fabulous cake.  But honestly, the cake is so much more than that topper.  And so here it is, the star of its own post.

I’m a big fan of art deco anyway.  Have you seen Midnight in Paris?  Woody Allen’s 2011 Oscar contender straddled the line between present day and 1920s Paris.  I loved it immediately, and this cake, with its art deco motif and La Tour Eiffel topper, takes me right to it.  And there’s something so complete about the marriage in art deco of a structured, almost masculine background, softened with flourishes and decorative touches.  I suppose I love the balance and symmetry of it.

And this cake displays it beautifully.  The artist limits the color scheme to three colors:  off white, a deeper cream, and brown.  The motifs of dots and scalloped edges is repeated as well.  The meticulous buttercream is applied to the cake with sharp edges, thus further focusing your attention on the piping, and the setting in which the cake is photographed is equally perfect, as the creamy marble backdrop echoes the color and structure of the cake.  The bees’ knees, yes?

Fall Themed Wedding Cake

The highlight of this asymmetrically stacked 4 tier wedding cake is the small sculpted beagle named Buddy taking a bite out of the cake. Buddy is looking over slyly at the cake as a small amount of icing and cake rests on his tongue.

White pumpkins, orange, red, and yellow bittersweet berries and cascading fall leaves highlight the rest of the cakes decorations. The entire cake is covered in ivory fondant with shimmery deep red bands around the
base of each tier.

Flavors and fillings matched the cakes fall theme and included apple spice with caramel buttercream and chocolate with raspberry chambord and chocolate.

Halloween Cakes

Halloween is over but I just got to share this cakes I found in A Wedding Cake Blog. Better late than never! 


Anyway, if you like a Halloween themed cake for your wedding, birthday or whatever event you're planning on celebrating. Then you might want to see this cakes and take inspiration from it. You could probably use it for next year!

The picture above is a Spider Cake. The art is incredible. However, I don't think you could make me eat that cake because I hate spiders. I know... It's just art... They aren't real... Still, it gives me creeps. 

I might be persuaded to have a cake like this for my wedding. It looks traditional and classy save for that skull bride and groom cake topper. 

Instead of just putting a creepy bride and groom cake topper on top of a traditional-looking cake to make it more Halloween-ish, why not go all out by having a great black and orange cake with a Jack Skellington and Sally as a cake topper? Do you like it?

Yes, the cake really looks delicious. But I'm not a big fan of spiders so I think I'll pass on this one.

These cake pops are something that I wouldn't mind eating. But I think that they would be too cute to eat so I might end up saving and displaying them instead of eating them. 


So what do you think?  Are Halloween weddings your thing?  Or, do you think Halloween is more for kids?
