WeddingWire Vintage Inspiration Board

Vintage wedding themes are all the rage right now and brides are incorporating old Hollywood glamour into their dresses, makeup and even their cake. WeddingWire blog recently used our Anemone Cake in one of their vintage inspiration boards.

We get a lot of requests for this cake as well as variations of it. I love it because it’s a simple design that works with a lot of different themes.

Just Married Cake


I delivered this cake to a restaurant in Manhattan last night for a wedding reception. The bottom tier is decorated with a two seater bicycle complete with a basket of flowers and tin cans blowing in the breeze. The top tier says it all!

The cake was our most popular flavor, red velvet with cream cheese frosting.

Congratulations John and Jamie!

Budgeting Tips for Brides and Their Cakes!

Even with the economy picking back up, everyone is looking for a way to save wherever they can. This is even more true for engaged couples who find their wedding expenses adding up. Here are a few money saving tips for the sweetest part of the reception: the cake!


FAKE IT
Get a smaller tiered cake (or dummy cake) for the reception and ask your baker to make sheet cakes that your caterer can cut and serve to guests

KEEP IT SIMPLE
Cakes from magazines are usually very expensive because they are so ornate. The less decoration on your cake, the less the cake will cost.

ALTERNATIVE DESSERTS
Get a cupcake tower with a smaller cake for the cake cutting.

REAL FLOWERS
Decorate your cake with real flowers instead of sugar flowers – some florists will throw in free decorative cake flowers as part of your package.

FAMILY HEIRLOOMS
Ask your baker to include a sparkly heirloom like a brooch onto the cake that won’t cost as much as time consuming sugar decorations.
