Let Them Eat Cake...

As you can see on the sidebar, one of the books I'm reading is Happy Ever After, the final installment of the Bride Quartet by Nora Roberts. As with the previous three books, many of the scenes take place at the Brown estate, home of Vows, the wedding business the four heroines own.

I was reading along as the flowers, the decor and the cakes, those wonderful, deliciously scrumptious cakes, were being described and I found myself wishing the book came with pictures. Seriously, wouldn't that be the ultimate? Pictures of Emma's gorgeous flower arrangements throughout the magnificent Brown estate. And Laurel's delectable creations. . . Pardon me while I wipe the drool from my chin. :)

But sadly, none of the books come with pictures. So off to Google I went and found an abundance of wedding cakes. I decided to concentrate on the cakes, probably because I was hungry at the time. :)

My goodness, they have certainly come a long way from the traditional white, three tiered cakes of old. There are still the beautiful traditional white wedding cakes with some special added touches. But there are also some amazingly creative cakes that took my breath away. With so many bakeries to choose from I decided to go with a hometown bakery. All of the pictures below are from Piece of Cake Desserts. My niece is getting married next November & I really hope she gets her cake here!

I'm posting just a few 12 of my favorites, believe me it was hard to choose! You can see a whole bunch more at Piece of Cake Desserts website.

Simply Elegant



Love the color and the details on this one.



Love the black & white with the punch of color on top.



Flowers ~


More flowers ~



Another one with beautiful flowers. The initial(s) on top seems to be popular.



The next three blew me away. Are these common at weddings? I would be tempted to pick one of these. So unique.






And for the whimsical couple ~







If you were a client of Vows, which would you pick? One of these or maybe another one from the site? Or maybe you've got your very own creation in your head just waiting to be baked!
