The wedding cake
should be placed as the centerpiece of the reception and is an
important part of the reception decor. Preferably, the wedding
cake is placed on a table all of its own in a prominent location
for the guests to admire, but it can also be placed on the
bridal table or a buffet table. Place a decorated knife on the
table for the wedding cake cutting ceremony. Some brides know
exactly what the wedding cake design and flavors they want while
other prefer we make these choices for them.

We are thrilled to have a full-page feature in (201) Bride Magazine! We were asked to design a cake around The Princess and the Pea fairytale. Every bride wants a fairytale wedding, but today that “story” is told with elegance and sophistication. We’ve created a fairytale cake for a contemporary bride -- with clean lines and a fun twist on this classic tale.
Each tier is embossed with myriad patterns to represent the tower of mattress from the story. Sugar flowers proliferate the cake -- all which gives the impression of peas – sweet peas and tendrils (they have a pea shape in the center of the flower which is then covered by three petals, which is very like a pea under all the mattresses) and a succulent named string of pearls (which looks like a vine of peas, but are very delicate and pretty). The cake sits on a silk skirted base to represent the bedskirt. The tier heights vary to give further visual interest to the cake.
This extremely large wedding cake is almost too heavy to lift (thank goodness for the almost!!) -- serving 210 guests. It's a beautiful design of teal fondant with chocolate colored accents. The five tiers have varying heights for interest.
This sweet bridal shower cake is covered in pink fondant with green ribbons and bows at each base and topped with pink sugar roses and green butterflies.
The black lace is painstakingly hand-piped to create a stunning cake with Old World charm.
This engagement cake has black sugar lace fanning down one side and sugar Phalaenopsis (also known as Moth Orchids) adding a ever so subtle hint of color. Each base is circled with a slim fondant black ribbon.
Sweetly sitting on a pink pedestal, the top tier of the wedding cake is sheathed in pink sugar carnations and the bottom tier is encircled with pink swiss dots.
This simple, elegant cake is adorned with green sugar Cymbidium Orchids and sits atop a pedestal.
An elegant, towering cake with red sugar flowers and sparkling black edible bows adorned with silver and crystal broaches.
Set upon a crystal pedestal, the bottom tier has a crisp embossed diamond pattern with edible dragees at each crosspoint. The top tier has a subtle graduation of dragees.
With a tiffany blue as the base color, the brown damask pattern really pops.
Perfect for a winter wedding, the base is covered with sugar crystals and embossed with a snowflake pattern. The bottom tier of grey fondant is ornamented with delicate brush embroidery snowflakes. The middle tier is encased in sugar crystals and sparkling edible snowflakes. The top grey fondant tier is dotted with "snow-swirls" and is topped with a candle and edible "drippings". Christmas sugar roses are placed throughout the cake.
For this buttercream wedding cake, each tier is encircled with teal fondant ribbons and white buttercream scrolls.
White fondant three tiered wedding cake with plum fondant ribbons and plum sugar daisies.
Simplicity at its finest, as the bottom tier is adorned with sugar jewels and the wedding cake is topped with a sugar peony.
A monochomatic beauty, with the ivory fondant finished with ivory satin fondant ribbons and crowned with sugar calla lilies.
Climbing vines and flowers brings a fresh look to this wedding cake as a sugar peony sits prominently at the base.

The wedding cake is
cut right before the dessert course. Make sure to gather
the guests, so everyone can watch this special part of
the reception. The bride and groom cut the first two
slices of the wedding cake with the groom placing his
right hand over hers. The slice is placed on a plate and
then the bride and groom feed each other a piece of the
wedding cake, with the groom typically offering the cake
to the bride first. The catering staff than cuts the
rest of the wedding cake in the kitchen.
Wedding Anniversary Tier
Many newly married
couples choose to save the top tier of their wedding
cake to be frozen until their first anniversary. A
better option is to get a small cake from your baker
that is separately packaged which then can be frozen.
This is much less messy than saving the top wedding cake
tier and is better packaged for freezing. Or the bride
and groom can go back to the baker on their first
anniversary to get a small cake that would be fresh and
tastier. Many bakers will provide one of these two
latter options complimentary.
