The story behind the cake: This cake has been getting a lot of attention, so thought I would share the inspiration behind the design! @realweddingsmag approached me about doing a "cake shoot" - just cake! - and gave me the following brief: The cake needed to be white-ish, and use the 2018 Pantone Color Trend palette of TECH-nique! I've been following @ninecakes for a while now, and have been mildly obsessed with both their deckled edges and dreamy watercolour washes. So I decided that this was the perfect opportunity to combine both looks into one cake - and I'm so pleased with how everything worked out! (And fellow cakers, if you haven't checked out Betsy's amazing-ness over at Nine Cakes...what are you waiting for? Go!) Dreamy photos by @typentecost; at @sheldoninnrestaurant; cake topper by @swoonable; chair by @gettinghitchedweddings! Note - I wasn't actually at the shoot, so I didn't get to see any of this until I saw the Winter/Spring 2018 issue....and now I am in luuuuuurrrrvvvveee with that door! The wood! The wrought iron! Going to have to get myself out there for real some day soon! #bakerandablackcat #cakesofinstagram #layercakes #sugarpaste #realweddingsmag #ohsosweet #elkgroveweddingvenue #sacramentoweddings #watercolorcake #decklededge #ninecakes #handpainted #inspiredbythebest #lovewhatido
πŸ¦„πŸ¦„πŸ¦„LOVE IS MAGIC πŸ¦„πŸ¦„πŸ¦„ The main themes behind this cake were romance and magic, with a touch of unicorn! I had some fun with hiding rosebuds in the ruffles, and custom coloring the pearls in different shades of gold. 🌸🌸🌸 The pink ranunculus helped set the cake in the entire scene - loved working with Suzanne at @gardenofweedondesigns to find the right balance!! πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’• And I’ve decided that I NEED my very own pink iridescent sequined tablecloth. Like, now!!!
