Anyone want to flash their cakes for me?! I need inspiration!

happycamper, 20 February, 2011 at 14:50 Posted on Planning 0 33

As the title says really, just fed up of looking at pro sites with no real life comments. Would really like to see what you are all going for or did go for, and would like to know why you chose what you did.

Thanks!

    Chose this because I was having calla lillies and we preferred simple designs to anything too fussy.

    Mine is similar to this:


    We are having hot pink and have incorporated butterfly's into the theme so it fitted the style (very girly!) I also loved the crackled effect of the icing instead of smooth. What's your wedding theme/colours/etc?

    This was ours, we chose it because we love flowers ! It was fruit on the bottom and the middle and top tiers were lime, malibu and coconut it was gorgeous ?

    This is ours but the hearts will be more "purple" rather than the lilac/pink ish colours shown on pic, plus also having caricature topper as we are having a caricaturist at the reception so thought it would tie in quite nicely..

    Nope, our cake lady has a special roller that she has to run across the icing apparently.

    Jules40, she is certainly a very clever lady! It was very hard to choose from all her amazing designs! She is based 10 mins down the road, which was a real bonus as I fell in love with her cakes before I even knew where in the country she was!x

    Wow, oh wow, oh wow! In a few photos you have all given me so many ideas! Please keep them coming...

    We have not yet 100% decided colours, but I think we will be tending towards the more simple designs.

    Lynsey and Fruitbat, are the flowers on your cakes made of icing? We'd quite like marzipan or icing decorations, so we can eat them!

    We are having cupcakes with a regular round cake on top for cutting with our topper on top.

    I want something like this for the cupcakes, but in my softer vintage colours - Ivory, dusky pink and sage green :

    Darn wish I'd thought of marzipan cos I love the stuff. Yes our flowers were made of sugar paste and I've still got them. If we ever have a big party for a the birth of a baby, 10 year anniversary or something I want the same cake with flowers used somehow lol. We had 2 tiers on the cake, fruit and chocolate but then a vanilla sponge as a cutting cake so we didn't keep the top tier as we wanted to use it all so will be nice to use the flowers at some point. You couldn't eat them though as sugar paste goes rock solid.

    Yes, in the photo they are icing / marzipan, although ours will have artifical flowers as I cannot abide marzipan (don't like almonds - I even pick them out of my breakfast cereal). Also, I want to be able to keep the flowers off it.
