Orange & Blue Daisy Wedding Cake

It's traditional for wedding cakes to be white cake with white filling and white decorations. But, more and more, brides & grooms are choosing to incorporate nontraditional fillings (like guava, Bavarian cream, or raspberry) and using...*gasp*...COLOR on the cakes!

Of course, there is such a thing as too much color (think fluorescent green, orange, etc)...but bringing in touches of your wedding accent colors can really help decorate your reception.

Here's a cake we made for a bride and groom who were having an orange and blue wedding:

The cake was iced in white buttercream, and we wrapped real ribbon around the base of each cake tier.

The daisies were all hand-made from gum paste and attached to the cake. Then, we added a sprinkling of orange and blue polka dots around the daisies.

It's just enough color to bring the cake to life and still keep it elegant and formal. I love color on cakes, don't you?!

Orange & Blue Gift Cake

I'm behind on editing my cake photos again so I'm down to slim pickings for posting...but I like this cake so I don't feel like you're getting gypped!

It's just a simple square cake covered with blue fondant, topped with a fabulous orange gum paste bow, and decorated with white polka dots.

What better way to say "happy birthday" than with a cake that looks as good as the gift pile! And it tastes SOOOO much better.

Blue, Pink, and Green Cake with Polka Dots and Daisies

A couple of weeks ago, a bride and groom came into the bakery to order a cake for their engagement party. They saw a photo of a cake Debbie created previously and loved it so we replicated it for them.


When they saw the cake, both the bride and the groom were excited about it! The bride then wandered around the bakery pointing out the other display cakes she liked, but the groom kept saying, "Our cake is my favorite one!"

Yay! Customer satisfaction is what it's all about, right?


The cake was covered with white fondant and accented with fondant daisies and polka dots with a gum paste bow topper.
