Details, Details....FaBuLoUs Cakes!

One of the best things about a wedding reception (besides the dancing and open bar) is the cake. I dont care who you are, everyone loves cake. My personal favorite is a fruity tasting cake such as lemon or strawberry, with a simple buttercream or cream cheese frosting. Mmmmmm. And of course, anything chocolate. Dark chocolate, chocolate swirl, German chocolate, red velvet...oh goodness, yes please!!

This post is going to focus more on how they look though and not so much on the taste. Unless you wanna try and lick your computer screen...that's all up to you. I wont judge. These cakes are some of my favorites from a couple different blogs I love and look at a few times a week, one being Style Me Pretty and The Broke Ass Bride.




This one is just gorgeous...I absolutely love the flower detailing and the texture on the tiers. Cakes like this are hard to cut into and eat...they're like works of art!






Cupcakes! Who doesn't love a cute little delicious cupcake? I love the idea of substituting cupcakes for a traditonal tiered cake. Less mess and a creative alternative! Plus it gives guests the opportunity to taste different flavors (if you provide different flavors).




Apparently the style of anything that starts with one color and slowly fades into another different color is called "ombre". I didn't know this until recently and now I feel smart. Anyways, I think this is a unique way to get creative with not just your cake, but anything! (tablecloths, napkins, invitations, etc.) Or if you're like me and obsessed with multi-color ideas and cant decide on just two or three colors for your wedding palette, this ombre thing is right up your alley!




I'm diggin' this awesome chocolate leaf pattern with yellow floral accents. The colors pop against each other and it's just gorgeous.




Simple and Sweet. Love it. Sometimes that's just the best way to go.




And just one more ombre cake. I just love them!
