Double Chocolate Wedding Cake
This cake has Joy the Baker written all over it. Why? It’s simple. It’s chocolate all over. It has natural elements that lend a hint of color, and quirky chocolate flowers that add a touch of light-hearted fun. And the cake isn’t perfect- it has stroke marks and rough sides. Wedding cakes these days are flawless. Obviously that’s not my style. I think this cake, even with all of it’s imperfections, is absolutely perfect. I spent about two days putting this cake together, and by the time I was done, I was absolutely smitten with it. Big time cake crush.
This cake (on day two I named him Sir Chocolate Monster) was requested for a ten year wedding anniversary and vow renewal. Ten years! Something about that struck me…

So you’ve found a swell girl, and bought a swell ring. You want to pop the question? Why not let a cake do all the heavy lifting in the question department? Even if a cake asks the question though, bended knee is still essential. Essential!
Pop the question with this Red Velvet Engagement Cake. With this two-tiered, cream cheese frosted cake, I’m sure any lady would say yes- even if only to get at the cake faster. I’m kidding… she loves you too.

Some wedding cakes are more flash than flavor. This simple white wedding cake was definitely not one of those cakes. It was all flavor, no flash. Joe and Jen had a simple, but elegant wedding in a beautiful old hall in downtown Los Angeles. They wanted to keep the look of their wedding cake simple and clean. We settled on a white buttercream frosting with a buttercream pearl border. The cake was decorated with fresh roses, lillies, red raspberries and bright mint leaves.
While outside was simple and elegant, the inside had a wallop of flavor.

I think there is something so special and intimate about backyard weddings. They’re my favorite kind of wedding to bake for. The food, the family, the friends, and someone inevitably jumping (or falling) into the swimming pool. I suppose that every wedding is full of laughs and love, but I find extra joy in the relaxed celebration of a warm and breezy backyard nuptial.
