New 2012 wedding cake trends!

Winter can be such a drag....cold, wet and just down right miserable!  I can't wait for spring.  Spring only means one thing:   the 2012 wedding season will be in full swing!

What is on the radar this year for the upcoming 2012 cakes trends:  color, color, color!

Brides, don't be afraid to be bold!  Express yourselves with loud colors, and stand out!  Beautiful fuschias, reds, blues, yellow are all making their way onto the 2012 wedding color palettes.

This year's style will be bold and dramatic, yet minimalist.  Such influences as Art Deco will be incorporated into cake designs.

Winter Wonderland Inspired Cake

A bride came to me with a ripped out magazine page that she got from Wedluxe magazine.  The cake and sweet table arrangement was designed by Cake Opera's Alexandria Pellegrino.

I was a little hesitant about the design, as I did not wish to copy the cake, but rather incorporate some of my own ideas.

I designed a pomegranate topper, as the bride wanted to incorporate the fruit into the design.  I also added of touch of winter by adding hand made gumpaste branches and leaves to soften the design.

Baptism Cake

Pretty in Pink baptism cake--created for baby Madeleine.  Soft pink gumpaste flowers, with gold leaves and pearl accents.  This cake serve 25-30 people.
