You'd think being a cake decorator would make choosing a cake design for my own wedding cake easy-peasy... but it has not been. I've turned back into indecisive bride. Yay.
These are some of the cakes that I've been crushing on throughout my design process:

That got me thinking. I can use the same technique, but in blue and in the shape of the lace design from my dress!
I knew I wanted to incorporate simple yellow flowers in between each tier of the cake. I actually made these a few months ago out of gumpaste and attached them to cross stitch rings. I made around 200 flowers total.
Y'all have seen my awesome blue cake plate already but here's one more picture because I love it so much.
And without further ado, my cake design as best as it can be drawn using Paint. net. Trust me, the actual cake will look much better.
I can't wait to see how it turns out. I'm going to do a trial run in a couple weeks to make sure all the techniques are successful and I'll be sure to show y'all pictures.
How'd you come up with your wedding cake design? Were you just as indecisive as I was?
That is a beautiful design! Good luck with the execution!
ReplyDeleteThanks! After I do a wedding cake for a friend this weekend, I'm going to do a practice run and hopefully it'll turn out awesome!
ReplyDeleteholy crap you are awesome for attempting this! I really wanted to make our cake to save on money, but FI just wouldn't have me stressing (he sees how I get when I make cakes for family and friends) I can't wait to see your trial run!
ReplyDeleteYeah my fiance is freaking out a little bit because he doesn't want me stressing out either, but I picked a design that I can start early on and that's really not that tough. Like I said, the flowers are already done and according to Martha Stewart the piping of the flowers can be done a week ahead of time so I'm going to shoot for that. Hopefully I'll have my trail run done some time next week!
