Wedding Cakes

Brides have been requesting black and white wedding cakes at a record pace. For many years I resisted decorating with black on wedding cakes.

Chocolate dipped strawberries are always a popular addition to the grooms cake.
Everyone enjoys the look of the tuxedo clad strawberries!


The groom was trying to deliver boxes of donuts to the future in laws.
But.........he lost the boxes on the way leaving a trail of the treats on the road.
This was a fun cake for the groom who works for UPS.

Wedding Cake

This fondant covered wedding cake is a design adapted from a recent bridal magazine. The bride wanted the designs to be shades of turquoise with black accents. Every circle, every dot, every petal had to be individually hand cut and reconstructed into a flower or some type of flowing design on the cake. The most demanding design element was the very large 3-D flower on the front of the cake. The flower was made up completely of graduating sizes of circles. The circles had to dry before we could reconstruct them into a flower. We were very pleased with the way the cake looked........almost exactly like the photo in the bridal magazine!

And we hear the bride loved the cake!

Grooms Cake - Trombone

The trombone cake was created for a groom who is a professor in the music department at Texas Tech University, Lubbock Texas.

The trombone is carved from chocolate cake, covered in chocolate fondant, and painted with edible bronze. The music notes flowing from the trombone are solid chocolate painted with gold. Chocolate dipped strawberries and some tuxedo clad strawberries complete the display.

The groom loved the cake so much he wanted to take it home as a decorative piece!

Wedding Cake with Pink Sugar Roses

Hexagon shaped cake tiers are covered with white rolled fondant

and fondant swags.

Royal icing is then used to create a detailed pattern on the fondant.

Hand made sugar flowers of royal icing and gumpaste fill the spaces between the cake tiers and create a "sugar flower bouquet" on top of the cake.

About Fondant

The smooth finish of fondant helps show off the shape of carved and speciality shape cakes.

Our fondant has a taste that is very much like marshmallows! Very yummy.

Don't worry, you still get our buttercream under the fondant.

Most wedding cakes shown in the bridal magazines are covered and decorated with fondant.

The fondant is what makes them look so smooth and wonderful.

Fondant takes color much better than buttercream and can be mixed to almost match any wedding color.

We have created some beautiful cakes using bright and dark colors to completely cover the cakes.

But......these intense colors are usually best used in small amounts as accents colors over lighter background color.

Pink and Black Dots Wedding Cake

An outside wedding by the swimming pool.....

This fun 3 tier cake is decorated with pink and black fondant accents.

All the bar-high tables around the pool were also dressed in pink table covers with black dots!

Wedding Cake

Each tier is decorated with the ever popular different design.

Using a different design on each cake tier creates a very interesting

Sugar pearls accent each tier and serve to unify the design elements.

Silver "J"s are used as a cake topper.
