Autumn Pleats Wedding Cake @ Cape Cod Private Residence

An intimiate gathering at a breathtaking Classic Cape Cod Home in Dennis, Massachusetts was the backdrop for this fall themed wedding. The bride's dress complete with horizontal pleats was the inspiration for the cake. Not many people are concerned with the back of the cake, but I learned at the end of our consultation that the bride had removed the silver buttoms from her great grandmothers wedding gown to be used as closures on her own- from that moment on - the back of the cake became a priority.



The back of the cake features small silver dusted pearls running from top to bottom. The topper: an arrangement of classic fall blooms in autumnal shades.
Small groupings of flowers create a balanced display, along with tiny white tea roses which were mainstays in the bride's and bridesmaid's bouquets.



The silver tray, one from the mother-of-the bride was a beautiful accent to the cake display.

Cake flavors included: Vanilla Butter Cake with Oreos and Cream filling and Pistachio Cake with Raspberry Buttercream

The Marine & His Bride

We were touched to be able to create a elegantly patriotic wedding cake for a marine and his bride. The wedding colors were red, white and blue but the bride wanted something elegant with her favorite flowers: calla lillies. As I sketched cakes for Erin, I came up with the idea of fondant draping to look like a wedding dress along with silver bow loops, white calla lillies and blue lily of the valley to bring the patriotic theme together. She loved the sketch and here is the final cake. The topper was a dancing bride and Marine. We hand painted a stripe down the pant leg of the groom to indicate his rank.

The cake was altnernating layers of devilish chocolate and vanilla butter cake with vanilla buttercream and chocolate ganache filling.
Best of Luck!
