From anchors to palm trees, the brides want it all and with their own personal touches.  Sometimes I even get a say in the design!

On the beach

Elegance was the final word for this next design with 100′s of tiny fondant flowers all over the three tiers.  Here is a close-up view:

Of course this would look entirely different if I would have based iced the cake in a pastel color OR the flowers were created in a BOLD color.  Maybe in the fall….

Hand Details are Delicate

The next two photos are similar but different.  With the change of a ribbon and no flowers on the cake, the look is totally unique.

I have no control over the colors!

This final wedding cake design started with an email from a groom writing from New York.  The cake design was completed in the spring and delivered on June 25, 2010.

Zebra Print Wedding

Weddings can happen any weekend of the year and a holiday weekend is no exception.  Here are the three wedding cakes that I created on Sunday, May 30, 2010 for three very special couples.  Each cake was different and created to their specifications–as always.

The first delivery went to Troy, MI and I arrived before the florist so the cake is “naked” it’s topper and extra floral decorations.  Each tier had a different design but all worked well together.

The second delivery took me out to Shelby, MI to Cherry Creek Country Club.  The bride decided at the last minute (5 days before the wedding!) that she did not like the “display” cake the venue was going to provide for her wedding.  That’s when the mother of the bride called Party Cakes.  We arranged to create a four tiered wedding cake display and the decorations included crystals, pearls, and gold leaf vines, all of which had to cascade down the front of the cake.

There was no topper so I had to create something that would use the decorations that were given to me.  Oh yes, the cake had to “shimmer” so I applied many layers of pearl dust with the airbrush machine.  The next photos show the detail of the decorations on two tiers.  If you look closely, you will see the “shimmer” affect created by the airbrush machine.  It looks “wet.”

The final wedding cake delivery went to Southfield at the Silver Gardens.  The theme of this wedding was “zebra” print, which was quite appropriate since the couple were married at the Zoo.  For decorating purposes, this cake took the most amount of time to create.  Each stripe is cut from black fondant icing and then pieced onto each tier of the cake.  There is NO pattern to follow and everything is done freehand.  Note:  I am not responsible for the selection of the cake topper.  That was solely the responsibility of the wedding couple.

Beginning at 8:45am on Sunday morning, all three deliveries were completed by 1pm.

Hand drawn flowers on buttercream

This spring selection was inspired by a photo from the internet.  White buttercream base icing was etched with pink flowers to look like appliques on the cake.  A grey ribbon was added to the base of each cake.  The bottom tier is composed of three 10″ layers while the top tier is the standard double layer.  Very unique and quite striking.

Butterflies in Flight

This latest design is inspired by springtime in Michigan and was created to showcase several different ideas.  The butterflies are a combination of silk and gum paste, which can be airbrushed to any color.  The hand-detail and ribbon compliment the elegance of this cake.  Use this design for a bridal shower, baby shower, a small wedding cake or even a birthday cake. 

Happy 50th Birthday Rubin

This design is actually a small wedding cake that was modified to fit the birthday celebration for Rubin.  He was very pleased considering that he could eat his numbers on the cake because they were created from white chocolate.

When customers think outside the box for their cake designs, Party Cakes can accommodate their requests.  We look forward to serving your next event.

Hand Rose with Fondant accents

 This classic black and white design on the bottom tier was created with fondant strips and some were airbrushed silver.  The hand detail in the next tier was accented with silver dragees and finally, the rose was hand drawn with one green fondant leaf added as an accent.  Topping this design was just a single monogram letter.

Any design is possible at Party Cakes, Inc.  Please call us for more information.

Fondant bow with Pink Butter Cream hand details

This pink vision was the center of attention for a bridal shower but could have easily been modified to a larger size for a two or three tiered wedding cake.
