Scrumptious Seaside Wedding Cakes

Scrumptious Seaside Wedding Cakes

One of the best motifs to use on a seaside cake is a seashell. Shells can be done in all sorts of ways. If you want an understated hint of oceana for your cake, think about a white on white seashell design. An elegant variation on this is blush pink shells tinged with gold edges. The most formal arrangement is to have the shells evenly spaced on each tier of the cake; if your style is a bit more modern, opt to have a variety of sugar shells cascading down the side of your cake.
An accent that works really well with shells is pearls. Especially if the bride is wearing a set of pearl bridal jewelry, it would be a fun touch to have a frosting oyster open to reveal a "pearl" as part of the cake design. You can also run with the theme by having strands of sugar pearl bridal jewelry wrapped around the base of each cake tier.
There are many other wonderful motifs for a seaside wedding cake. Fish and coral are great design elements that can easily add lots of beautiful colors to your cake. Imagine a cake iced with fondant "waves" in a watercolor effect with a school of bright red fish swimming around the circumference. Top it off with red faux coral sculpted into your initial. Or you can use line drawings in the shape of a fish in multiple colors across a smooth white fondant cake for a fresh and whimsical take on a tropical cake.

Chocolate Cakes For Fall Weddings

Chocolate Cakes For Fall Weddings

Fall weddings are all about enjoying the warmth and richness of the season. Unlike a summer wedding, when food should be light and refreshing, in the autumn, you can indulge in richer flavors. And when it comes to a rich wedding cake, this can only mean one thing: chocolate!
It used to be that all you ever saw were white wedding cakes. Brides were afraid to stray from the traditional, and their bakers were not particularly creative. All of that has changed. These days, the cake is one the key focal points of a wedding. In fact, many a bride has been known to design her entire wedding scheme around the look of her dream cake.
Many people absolutely love chocolate, and want to use it instead of the classic white wedding cake. At some times of the year, brides are more likely to hide the chocolate cake under white or pastel frosting, or to relegate it to the groom's cake. But in the fall, the warm color of chocolate icing is a perfect match for the colors of the season.
