My Wedding Cake!

An age-old tradition: Cutting the Cake!!

As, a maker of wedding cakes, the obvious decision would be to make my own wedding cake!  The difficult decision came when i had to decide WHICH wedding cake to make for our special day.  Neither of us like fruit cake, so that was out.  But, then you are still left with chocolate mousse cake, vanilla, carrot, red velvet...the list goes on.  


Actually, our favourite cake is cheesecake, so that was high on the list of choices.  We also LOVE cheese, as in real cheese - brie, camembert, blue and cheddar.  So, another option was a tower of cheese wheels draped with fresh grapes, preserved figs and nuts... Mmmm, my mouth is watering just thinking of it!

traditional look with white roses in

Black and white is so en mode.

I saw a cake on the Martha Stewart website a while before we got engaged and immediately knew that that was the wedding cake for me.  How appropriate then when we chose roses as the theme for our wedding!  Once i really started looking at wedding cake ideas with the idea of choosing one design for ours, it became quite a daunting choice to make though.  There are sooo many gorgeous designs out there!

In November last year i made a wedding cake that comprised several small cheesecakes wrapped in white chocolate collars and covered with berries.  When looking at the pictures of this wedding cake a while later, i was so inspired by the colourful, fresh berries that i decided at once that this was what i wanted... eventually!  Here are the pics...
