Cake-A-Licious, Custom Wedding Cakes

Featured Wedding: Kala & Shane

 
 
Congratulations to Kala & Shane!
 
Kala and Shane held their ceremony and reception at Willow Creek Country Club in Sandy.  It's a beautiful place, so peaceful and scenic.  I met with both of them along with Kala's mom last fall to start planning their wedding cake.  They had such fun and bright colors they were using, which were bright pink and orange, and a pretty buttercream yellow.  The cake was a square tiered cake covered in ivory fondant.  The yellow ribbon border was also done in fondant to match the yellow of some of the accents they used throughout the reception. 
 
 
 
 
 
One unique detail we did on the cake was add the pattern, which was a pattern that was embossed onto all the favor boxes they gave to their wedding guests.  They wanted to use a similar pattern on the cake to tie those details together, so they supplied me with a sample print of the pattern that I then tried to replicate on the cake.  It ended up being piped with icing freehand.  It added that bit of texture and interest to the cake, and it turned out beautiful.  The gorgeous flowers were added by their florist, Jerry from Hillside Floral.  Aren't they beautiful?!  Again, I love the bright colors.  Perfect for a spring wedding!!  The flavor of the wedding cake was one of my favorites, Almond cake with Almond buttercream.
 
 
They had so many fun ideas for their wedding.  Both Kala and Shane are fans of the Utah Utes and the San Diego Chargers, and they wanted to bring that personalized touch to their wedding.  They decided to add cupcakes for their guests at the reception, so they had 3 different styles and flavors of cupcakes, 1 style with each team logo on them and another style bringing in their wedding colors with cute little fondant flowers.  Each cupcake design was a different flavor:  Strawberry Lemonade, Red Velvet with Bavarian Cream, and White Chocolate Raspberry.  Kala's mom and dad made custom cupcake towers that were placed at various tables throughout the reception dinner where we mixed and matched all 3 styles of cupcakes and guests could help themselves to them.  Such a cute idea!  I love when brides and grooms add theirown tastes, likes, and personalities to details of the wedding. 
 
This was such a fun wedding to get to be a part of and I had a blast working with them!  I wish them a wonderful new life together!
