My Wedding Cake Inspiration

Allison Silber September 16th, 2010 by Allison Silber

Pretty sure this post couldn’t have been any later! OMG, these days have been a bit much for my taste. But, it is all in good fun, so I can’t really complain. And now, speaking of taste, let’s talk cakes!

Finally, the fun and tasty part! I get to go meet some amazing bakers and create an amazing design and yummy tasting cake. I think this is going to be incredibly fun! These are some of my favorite cakes and as you can see, I like something a little more modern and unique and a little less dumb looking. ( my words) As you can also see, I have a love for ginormous flowers. That will be a recurring things throughout the wedding, but as far as my cake goes, I plan on treating it like a couture dress. I want it to be classy and chic but totally unexpected and amazing. It needs to have a definite “wow-factor”.

As a quick side note to any bakers out there, us brides appreciate really amazing websites and really amazing photography. A lot of people need a redesign on their site fast!

My fave of all faves is that one on the lower right, with the massive flower over taking the cake. It is just gorgeous. And I am looking for that butter cream or more textured frosting, none of this fondant stuff (unless it looks phenmon!). And definitely doing a white cake with berries, none of this chocolate-lovers stuff.

Recently, I was totally drawn to Hilary Duff’s wedding cake though. No frosting and so chic! I would totally go this direction if I was not a frosting fan, but the fact of the matter is, I like the frosting more than the cake!

Amazing right??

And last but not least, I am not planning on leaving my gluten-free friends hanging. It may just be that I want to create my own mini dessert bar at the wedding, either way though, I am going to take care of them (which is actually over 20 people!) with some cute little cupcake tiers on either side of the cake. This way I get the best of both worlds, cake and cupcakes, I get to create an amazing dessert table, AND they will be happy and fed and just as fat as the rest of us that had regular cake!

    Allison!! Omg, the cake you love (the one in the lower right with the big white flower) is a take after Carolina Herrera’s wedding gown from the Spring 2010 collection. one of my best friends just got married in it literally like two weeks ago!!! I will have to send you the pic via email :).

    wanted to correct myself, the cake is from carolina’s spring 2009 bridal collection, not 2010. Sorry about that! and wanted to also echo what Cindy mentions :). You are a sweetie to think about your gluten free friends :). So thoughtful of you!
