Some of my favorite cakes

We're doing so many cupcakes at weddings this season, that it made me think of how much I truly love wedding cake (the cupcakes are fab too, but I'm a BIG fan of wedding cake). Here's a few pics from over the years. Most are from Sandy Danner of Creative Cakes (her frosting is to die for!) and Michelle Rice of Iced Art (we are big fans of her signature Guava flavor). As you can see, each cake is so very different and I can truly say that each cake reflects the style of that particular wedding.

Remember: A wedding cake doesn't have to be your traditional 4 tier, one flavor cake. Mix up the flavors per tier to provide a variety. Wedding cakes can also become a part of the festivities for all guests, not just the wedding couple. For Elizabeth and Tom's wedding (see second to last photo), we had small cakes on each guest table and each of those tables had a different flavor cake. Guests cut their own slice of cake, then went around to the other tables to try different flavors. Not only was this a blast, but the cakes had another purpose as well...centerpieces!
