A Masquerade Wedding

I love when people have themed weddings! Stacey, a co-worker, got married on Saturday and her theme was a purple and black masquerade. Loves it! She asked me to make her cake and pretty much gave me free reign.

I went with a black cake with a swirl design to match her dress. I wanted a purple and black mask on top, but it was SO hard finding one with just those colors. Most of them had silver or gold. When I finally found one, it was sold out. Grrrr. Stacey said I could go with a white mask, which I realized was a better idea since it was a wedding. I just added some purple feathers and roses to keep with the wedding colors.



I LOVE this cake!! It's definitely one of my best.

The Monster and The Bride

The lovely @VS_Jess's 6 year anniversary was this past weekend. She mentioned that she would love to have a Frankenstein-themed cake to celebrate. That's a theme I've been wanting to do, so I offered to make her one. She was excited, but I think I was more excited. haha

I made a Frankenstein bride and groom out of fondant. The bride is my favorite! She's so cute! I put the couple on a green cake with stitched red hearts. This is definitely one of my top 10 favorite cakes.

Groom's Cake

My lovely lady friend, @clearasmud, got married exactly a month ago. One of my wedding gifts was the groom's cake. And since she had a long engagement, this cake has been on my to-do list for awhile.

Her husband is a huge Steelers fan, so she requested a football helmet. This was my first helmet and it was pretty easily to make. The only thing that gave me trouble was the face mask. I made one out of fondant, but as I was putting it on the cake it cracked. I didn't have time to make another one, so I just used pipe cleaners. They were an excellent alternative.

Till Death Do Us Part

The lovely @clearasmud got married on the 5th. A couple weeks before that, a group of us at work threw her a surprise shower. Of course I made the cake!

Her wedding colors were red and black and she loves anything Día de los Muertos themed. So I combined those things to create this:


This is one of my favorite cakes. I lovelovelove it!

Commemorating the Wedding Day

My sister is getting married next week. Yay! The HR department (where she works) threw her a shower this week and they asked me to make the cake. I was going to do a little wedding cake, but since it was for my sister, they wanted me to make it more personal. You'd think I'd be able to come up with an idea quickly since it's for my sister, but I couldn't think of anything for a long time! And then, it came to me...

My sister loves going to Cirque du Soleil. Every time she goes, she has to get a "commemorative cup" and then she has to show it off. So a commemorative cup wedding cake seemed like the perfect theme!

Here's the front. The back says "Official Collector's Cup."
