Congratulations Amber & Brandon! Wow, it's been an insanely busy month! June is the busiest wedding month of the year, and oh boy has it been crazy busy this month for wedding cakes. I've been so swamped, I've been terrible at the blog lately. I wish I had time to blog about so many of the awesome cakes we've been able to do the past few weeks, but I don't so I'll just try to do better at getting some posts up as often as possible. One of the most unique cakes I've done in the last little while has been this super cute and colorful cake for Amber and Brandon. They are a very fun and happy couple, and their cake showed that perfectly, I think. I love the color differences in this cake. The blue and green sides were covered in fondant first, then I covered the rest of the sides of the cake in white fondant. Aren't these colors so sweet together? The ribbon down the side of it is also fondant, with fondant pleated white ruffles. It was a tricky technique to do, but I loved the outcome of it. The buttons down the ribbon were real buttons. I love that this cake is bold, colorful, and whimsical, but still elegant enough to be a beautiful wedding cake. Adding the monogram topper and a few fresh flowers completed the look. I always enjoy doing some color on wedding cakes. Don't be afraid of color! A white cake is always beautiful, but it's not the rule anymore. Your wedding cake does not have to be all white or ivory. If you really want to make a statement with your cake, the best way to do that is to add some fun colors, shapes, or design to it. This cake had it all, and it's definitely one of my favorite cakes so far this summer. Congratulations again to Amber and Brandon! They were so much fun to work with and I enjoyed every minute of it. I wish them a magically happy life together!
