Wedding Wednesday: Wow Wedding Cakes

 

Cake, champagne, dancing.  That's what is important to me at a wedding. Of course, we all want to celebrate the couple, but there must be cake! As Julia Child once said, "A party without a cake, is just a meeting." Here's a bakers dozen from around the world, for your own wow wedding cake inspiration.

Made In Cake

Provence, France

"We make each wedding cake according to a dream, according to an ideal, according to the colors and flavors were chosen by the couple." Please take a minute to look and listen with a visit to the website. It is like a journey to France. This cake is part of the edible paper designs.

 

Pip & Bits

Oh so gorgeous! This bakery has been written up in The Knot, Wedding Wire, Brides, and more. One look at their website and you will know why!

Flouring LA

Los Angeles, California

The Blushing Cook

One of my favorite ways to style a cake. I actually have done this for my niece's wedding. It is not an easy task, and for this DIY Girl, it was scary. But it sure was pretty.

Jasmine Rae Cakes

San Francisco, California

Jasmine Rae de Lung is a real artist. Her cakes are beyond fabulous. The one above is part of her water series. Her flavors are super interesting. Think hibiscus flower, sea salt caramel, earl grey tea, and much more.

Wedding Wednesday: The Organized Bride

{ Via: Southern Weddings }

As I have written before, "Ms. Shop This" is newly engaged, and the wedding planning is about to begin. Don't say a word, but I have been looking for a good looking bridal planner for her. She's picky, as she should be, and has her own definite style. Maybe I'll just let her pick out her own. Even if you have hired a professional planner, you need to be organized. It is your day after all. Organization is key, and you might as well do it with style!
